Queen’s Park retain TTCB Premiership crown

Merry Boys can gain a further nine points from an encounter against First Citizens Clarke Road earlier this season, a match that was ended prematurely by umpires. A team can earn a maximum of 28 points from a match, therefore Merry Boys can only get to 141 points.

This is the second title the Parkites have won this season, after they retained the 50-over competition earlier this month.

Barbadian medium pacer Javon Searles was the chief destroyer for Queen’s Park, snatching five for 37 in 12 overs. Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein took 3/21 in 8.4 overs, while Jahran Alfred top scored for Central Sports with 36.

In reply, Tion Webster continued his solid run of form, scoring 59 to lead the way for the Parkites. Webster cracked seven fours and one six in his 52-ball knock.

National player Kevon Cooper also played an aggressive innings, lashing 50 off 46 balls with seven fours.

Stephen Shaddick (2/22) and Shazan Babwah (2/60) both took two wickets for Central Sports.

At the Pierre Road Recreation Ground in Charlieville, national wicket-keeper Steven Katwaroo scored 99 for Alescon Comets against Clarke Road. Katwaroo led Comets to 259/9 at stumps as Imran Khan pitched in with 58.
