Comet, PowerGen clash in Sunday League

DEFENDING joint-champions Alescon Comet and PowerGen Sports Club are involved in two key fourth round re-scheduled matches today in the Carib Sunday League. The eight matches were carded for January 23 but heavy rainfall and water-logged grounds forced the National Cricket League officials to re-schedule the matches.

PowerGen will travel to Wilson Road Recreation Ground where they will be involved in the “Penal Derby” with arch-rivals FCB Clarke Road United in a Group “B” match. Comet and Central Sports are joint leaders in Group “A” alongside Queen’s Park on eight points each. All three clubs won their fifth and sixth round matches last weekend.Comet defeated Defence Force on Saturday and then crushed former champs Ceramic Merry Boys the following day at the Diego Martin Recreation Ground.
