The two outstanding fast bowlers who have done little wrong this season yesterday fired Police to a predictable victory over Cockspur Wanderers and back to the top of the points table.
Emmerson Sealy, in the course of his finest ever Division 1 season, and Sylvester Louis, a proven campaigner at this level, exploited helpful conditions on the way to setting up a victory by an innings and 22 runs.
Both men grabbed four wickets, and Wanderers, facing a first innings deficit of 161, were good as beaten at exactly 3:40 p.m after resuming on 19 without loss.
There was little resistance from the home team apart from a fighting half-century stand between Mark Sealy and little Marcus Humphrey.
A hour and 15 minutes into the day, Wanderers had already been reduced to 89 for six, the damage caused by Louis' three scalps and Sealy's two.
The first three wickets went down for the addition of one run and Police took a firm grip of things by removing the positive Gary Pedro (19) and Gavin Beresford (14), along with Hendy Bryan in a 20-minute period.
As Humphrey walked to the middle to partner Mark Sealy, 45 minutes were still left before the tea break and there were thoughts of a victory before the interval.
Sealy and Humphrey, however, defied the bowling for an hour in adding 50 before their partnership was ended with the contentious dismissal of Sealy.
Having played much more positively than he did in the first innings, Sealy was very surprised when he was adjudged to have provided a leg-side catch to the 'keeper off Duane Davis. His 34 was made in an hour-and-a-half and included five fours.
There was a stand of 20 between Humphrey and Patrick Phillips, but Emmerson Sealy, well rested, came back to remove both in his first over of a new spell.
Phillips steered a catch to the 'keeper and Hum-phrey, after battling for more than an hour-and-a-half for 22, fended a catch to the forward short-leg.
The end swiftly came.
