 ST. AUGUSTINE, April 18, 2024 - The UWI Cricket Club (UWICC) continues its winning streak in the TTCB East Zone (TTCBEZ) Competitions of 2024. Having won the high-intensity Chairman's T12 Tournament in January for the second consecutive year, the Club has now added the Senior Division 2-Day Title to its trophy cabinet, topping the points standings with 122 points from seven matches. The East Zone competition fixtures were held from April 6 to April 27 2024 at various local team locations.

Captain Jameel Lashley led the way with the bat scoring 433 runs, including 2 centuries at an average of 72.17. Nineteen-year-old Faculty of Social Sciences student, Rondell Ramlogan amassed the next highest total number of runs (415), scoring a century and two 90's at an average of 69.17. Leg spinner Bhisham Kissoon was the pick of the bowlers claiming 28 wickets at an average of 12.68 runs with best bowling figures of 5/46. 

Meanwhile, in the Reserve Team Competitions, the UWICC placed 3rd in the Limited Overs Competition and narrowly missed out on a top 3 spot in the T20 competition due to a net run rate inferior to the 3rd place team. Notable contributions were made with the bat by Duane Cockburn, Mikeal Sinanan and captain Tamayo Hutton, and in the bowling department by Amaziyah Agard, Shawn Hosein and Renaldo Manchan.

The UNICOM-sponsored UWICC faced the winner of the North Zone Competition, El Socorro Youth Movement, in a Play-Off 2-Day Match on April 13-14, at the UWI but barely missed out on the bid for promotion to the TTCB Premiership Division II.

Under the management of President, Dr. Earl Ottley, the UWICC Executive and Coach Stuart Gopaul, the UWICC will further challenge for the TTCBEZ Limited Overs and T20 titles over the months of April & May, aiming to round out its most successful year in the history of the Club.
