SEVENTEEN-year-old West Indies U-19 batter, Jewel Andrew, stroked an accomplished 143 from 141 balls while reaching the boundary 12 times and clearing it on seven occasions and although skipper Nyeem Young scored 54 with five sixes nobody else offered prolonged support as West Indies Academy lost their second game by
One wicket on the tour of Ireland on Wednesday.
Antiguan Andrew batted brilliantly to help his team to 278-8 off 50 overs before Ireland who won the first game by six wickets, reached 282-9 off 49.5 overs.

was unbeaten on 39.
Johann Layne had 3-55 from 10 overs while there were two wickets each for Ramon Simmonds and Young.
