The 2004 PowerGen Secondary Schools Cricket League’s opened on Tuesday at the St Mary’s College Grounds, Serpentine Road, Port-of-Spain, with a parade of teams.

They sped to  the target up in just 15 balls in the final. The Girls North Zone team rattled up 35 runs, losing only one wicket in the process, to beat the North East outfit who also recorded 35 runs but dropped five wickets.

Timothy Surujbally took the “Most Valuable Player” award and the prize for the “Most Runs” as he helped Princes Town to the win. Candice Headley of the North Zone team was named “MVP” among the girls while Candice La Borde hit the “Most Runs.” PowerGen’s General Manager Leo Martin expressed pleasure at his company’s involvement in the league for the eighth year and complimented the league’s governance on their running of the annual competition.
