Rain again, no play at Bourda

Leaders Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago are still in contention to win West Indies Cricket Board Regional Under-19 three-day Championship after the fourth and penultimate round was rained out.



Contests at Bourda between Guyana and Windward Islands, and at the Demerara Cricket Club between Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados, were called off before the scheduled start of today’s final day.



At Everest, umpires stretched the game between leaders Jamaica and Leeward Islands beyond lunch with inspections at 11 a.m. and 12.30 p.m., before finally abandoning play at 12.45 p.m.



Each team received three points from the rain-ravaged round, leaving Jamaica on 31 points, Trinidad and Tobago second on 27.3 points and Barbados third on 23.3 points.



Jamaica are now highly fancied to win the title as they take on the fifth place and outgoing champions Windward Islands in the final round which bowls off on Thursday.



T&T face bottom-of-the-table side Leeward Islands at Bourda while the Barbadians clash with fourth placed Guyana at Everest.
