Under a brilliant sky, the second UWI T20 cricket tournament got underway at the Sir Frank Worrell Ground at the Sport and Physical Education Centre (SPEC) on January 10. After the opening game, which featured FC Clarke Road United and The UWI Cricket Club, a brief ceremony was held (Clarke Road 193/8 – UWICC 149). Then the second match featuring Merry Boys SC and SIS Central Sports began at 6.30 (Merry Boys 201/7 – Central Sports 142). On Day Two of the tournament, which ran over eight days, (from Jan 10-25), and featured 15 teams after Defence Force was suddenly recalled to “barracks,” for national duty, Moosai SC came up against T&T Prison Service SC (Moosai 137/8 – Prisons 107), and that match was followed by two others: a close one between Esmeralda SC and Club Crusoe from Tobago (Esmeralda 138/9 – Club Crusoe 136/9), and Queen’s Park Cricket Club vs UTT (QPCC125/3 – UTT 123/7). After the Defence Force exited the tournament, it was decided that the first game would be an exhibition match, and FC Clarke Road automatically qualified for the quarterfinal round. The tournament, which ended yesterday (too late for us to bring the final results) featured a cash pot of TT$25,000. There were also cash prizes for all teams progressing beyond the preliminary round, and prizes for man-of-the-match, “big sixes” and special bowling performances. Anisto Alves brought back some photos of the first and third matches between FC Clarke Road United vs The UWI Cricket Club, and Moosai SC vs the T&T Prison Service SC. |
