ST Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) reaffirmed their status as kings of schoolboy cricket when they defeated Cross Keys High by 94 runs in a lopsided final to retain their Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA)/Digicel Super-Eight Twenty20 title at Manchester High yesterday.

| STETHS Champion |
The Santa Cruz-based team, led by an unbeaten 25-ball half-century from captain Ramaal Lewis, posted a daunting 170-4 from their allotted 20 overs, before restricting their opponents to a paltry 76 all out in 18 overs.
STETHS received the increased cash prize of $350,000, equipment and the coveted trophy. This win completes them successfully defending all four titles won last season. Cross Keys High ($200,000), Eltham High ($100,000) and Munro College ($75,000) were also rewarded for their efforts.
Scores: STETHS 170-4 (20 overs); Cross Keys 76 (18 overs).
Following an emphatic nine-wicket win over Munro College in the semi-final, Cross Keys were expected to put up a good fight, but they had their job cut out for them as STETHS won the toss and chose to take first strike in sunny conditions on a well-prepared surface.
The Clive Ledgister-coached STETHS were given a solid start by Odain McCatty (24) and Romaine Morris, as the two posted an opening stand of 41, before McCatty went caught off Jaleel Meikle. Wicketkeeper/batsman Jevoy Spence joined Morris in the middle and the two added 66 for the second wicket as they pushed the score to 107 when Spence (41) was undone by a straight delivery from Romario Marshall. more
