Merryboys grab ‘Club of the Year’ title

Champions Ceramic Mer-ryboys Cricket Club will receive the prestigious “Club of the Year” title when the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) host their annual prize-giving ceremony today at the Bureau of Standards, Macoya today. Merryboys, winners of the Carib National League Division One title for the past two years have  been in excellent form during the past few seasons. Merryboys also reached the finals of the Carib Cup but lost out to First Citizens Clarke Road United. They will also receive a cheque for $35,000 for winning the National League, plus $12,000 for their Carib Cup effort. They were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Carib Sunday League but will still pocket over $50,000 for their season’s work.

Clico Preysal who captured the Carib Sunday League crown, together with the Noel Guillen Under-21 cricket title just missed out on copping the title they earned in 1998 as the top club.
West Indies coach Augustine Logie will deliver the feature address at the function where comedian Tommy Joseph will entertain those in attendance. Logie was recently appointed coach of the West Indies team after being named assistant at the beginning of the year. After the success of the team, he was then asked by the WICB to assume the role of coach for the next two years.
