Leon-J.jpg" />Guyana Harpy Eagles skipper Leon Johnson kept Jamaica Scorpions at bay on day one of the fourth round match in the Regional Four-Day Championship at the National Stadium, Providence. Johnson, playing his last season of regional cricket for Guyana, scored his seventh First-Class ton in his 126th game to lead Harpy Eagles to 268-9 by stumps on Wednesday. Johnson, who scored 62 and 74 in the last round against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, ended the day on a majestic 142 not out off 248 balls, an innings that included 16 fours. The innings was the glue of the Harpy Eagles’ innings, as the batters struggled in the opening session, which ended with the home side four wickets down. WATCH: The moment Leon Johnson got to 100! “It feels to good (to score a hundred), especially knowing that we were 50-odd for four at lunch,” 35-year-old Johnson said at stumps. “You know you always remember the good scores you get when your team under a bit of pressure. I was able to play freely in the last session because I did all the hard work upfront.” WATCH: Leon Johnson’s interview at stumps Tevin Imlach made 46 off 105 balls (3x4s) and Kevlon Anderson 36 off 65 (5x4s), as Scorpions kept chipping away at the Harpy Eagles batting. Dervan Green, Ojay Shields and Marquino Mindley have taken two wickets each for Scorpions, as Harpy Eagles top-order fell cheaply- Tagenarine Chanderpaul without scoring and Matthew Nandu and Kemol Savory one each. Kevin Sinclair (10), Veerasammy Permaul (0), Gudakesh Motie (8) and Ronsford Beaton (1) were also dismissed cheaply. Below are the summarised scores from the other games At the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba: Leeward Islands Hurricanes 271-6 from 90 overs (Karima Gore 87*, Kieran Powell 75, Kofi James 61*; Preston McSween 2-42, Kenneth Dember 2-66) vs Windward Islands Volcanoes At the Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad: Trinidad and Tobago Red Force 203 from 75.3 overs (Jason Mohammed 55, Tion Webster 46, Joshua Da Silva 32; Chaim Holder 5-71, Jair McAllister 3-31) vs Barbados Pride 40-0 from 12 overs (Zachary McCaskie 21*, Sheyne Moseley 19*)
