ALL-ROUNDER David Clifton-James led Scorpions to a four-wicket victory over Vagabonds, lifting them to the top of the Sunday League standings at Mission Road yesterday.
Clifton-James snapped up six wickets and scored 79 as Scorpions took over at the top from Templars.
Vagabonds had set Scorpions a difficult target, scoring 284 for nine in 50 overs.
Vagabonds were indebted to a 191-run sixth-wicket stand from century-maker Anthony Williams and Ravi Sujanani. Williams made 117 and Sujanani scored 84 and the pair rescued the Vagabonds' innings, which was tottering at 79 for five.
Clifton-James took six for 29 in eight overs.
He then joined Bob Stiller and Matthew Johnson in helping Scorpions to their target. Stiller hit 92, but Johnson's heroics ensured victory for Scorpions.
