Former national youth representative Dennis Bulli was in outstanding form on the weekend, bagging match figures of 9-72 and scoring 50 not out, as Kensington CC recorded one of two outright victories in the opening round of the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) Senior Cup competition.

Bulli, 22, who was the competition's leading wicket-taker last season, claimed 4-50 and 5-22 with his left-arm unorthodox spin as Kensington, after making 303 in their first innings, bowled out Boys' Town for 125 twice in their clash at Kensington Park.

Ryan Francis, 55, had earlier supported Bulli to set up Kensington's challenging total.

The victory propelled Kensing-ton to the top of the standings along with the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) which, on a brilliant all-round performance from Joseph Palmer, also defeated Police outright in their game at Elletson Road.

Palmer first made 63 in the JDF's first innings total of 351, before returning to claim 4-38 and 6-46 to restrict Police for 154 and 144, respectively. Avroy Harris, 84, made most runs when the soldiers batted, when Rensford Boadie took 7-127.
