New look four-day championship bowls off tomorrow

The new-look West Indies Cricket Board, WICB, regional four-day championship begins in Jamaica tomorrow with champions Jamaica meeting last year’s runners-up the Windward Islands at Chedwin Park in one of three opening round matches.



In other first round matches, the Leeward Islands and Barbados meet at Kensington Park, while the highly fancied Trinidad and Tobago face off with the Combined Campuses and Colleges at Jarrett Park in Montego Bay.



All matches are scheduled to start at 10 o’clock in the morning.



Jamaica will start slight favourites to get the better of their opponents in the seven-round competition, shortened from last year’s home and away tournament due to the WICB financial constraints.



Three matches per round will be played in one territory, with the team accumulating most points being declared winner.



The teams will compete for a cash prize of US$10,000 and Headley/Weekes Trophy.
