OK. I think I would have welcomed helmets when I was a schoolboy. I was fraid of pace bowling like puss after I was hit in the mouth with a compo ball hitting a stone and rising quicker than I could take evasive action.

They do but I guess the STETHS Senior Cup...oops ...Headly Cup team was so much better than Tacky the players did not feel threatened

They do not wear protective head gear in schoolboy cricket? I remember when I was in high school, I liked cricket but would have welcomed head gear to protect be from blows to the head/fact. I have seen where players at the international level are wearing them, but has it not caught on in Jamaica?

Defending Grace/ISSA Headley Cup champions, St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS), look unstoppable for a 24th title, after completely dominating first-time finalists Tacky High on day two of their three-day final at Alpart Club, Nain, St Elizabeth.
When bad light forced the end of play an hour early yesterday, STETHS had piled up a 240-run lead, after progressing to 81 for one in their second innings.
Earlier, Tacky meekly surrendered the battle for first-innings honours when they were bowled out for 71, after showing some promise at lunch, posting 40 for two.
The St Mary team had made a fair start of 24 runs, seeing off the pace of Omar Samuels and Nicholson Gordon. However, Horane Linton's introduction in the attack, by way of spin, immediately accounted for Sherard Facey (12), who was caught and bowled for 12.
