Jamaica’s cricketers to arrive home

Jamaica’s cricketers are scheduled to return from St Kitts this afternoon following an easy 10-wicket victory over Leeward Islands yesterday in their fourth round match in the Regional First-Class Championship at Warner Park.



The Jamaicans will take a few days break before beginning preparation for the fifth round.



The fifth round bowls off on March 11 with three-time defending champions Jamaica hosting Combined Campuses and Colleges at Chedwin Park, Barbados entertaining Windward Islands at Kensington Oval, Trinidad and Tobago facing Leeward Islands at the National Cricket Centre in T&T and England Lions playing away to Guyana at Guyana National Stadium in Providence.



The fourth round victory earned Jamaica the full 12 points and they increased their tally to 36, three clear of Trinidad and Tobago, who scored a 51-run victory over Windward Islands at the Arnos Vale Multi-Purpose Complex in St Vincent.



England Lions slipped to third place on 30 points after battling to a draw with Combined Campuses and Colleges at the Three Ws Oval in Barbados.



Combined Campuses and Colleges are now in fourth place on 27 points, followed by Guyana on 13, Barbados 12 and the Leeward Islands at the bottom-of-the-table on three.
