CAVE HILL, Barbados, CMC – Combined Campuses & Colleges (CCC) finished the WICB regional four-day competition for the Headley/Weekes Trophy on a high, when they romped to an unlikely, 63-run victory over Trinidad & Tobago yesterday.
The CCC successfully defended a target of 174, when they dismissed T&T for 110 in their second innings about 45 minutes after tea on the third day in the 14th and final round match at the Three Ws Oval.
Khismar Catlin formalised the CCC’s fourth victory of the season, when he had Jason Mohammed caught behind for the top score of 33 to finish with four wickets for 56 runs from 13.1 overs to be the most successful CCC bowler.
Kavesh Kantasingh and Ryan Austin, two bowlers with ties to T&T, assisted Catlin with the demolition job. Left-arm spin bowler Kantasingh, a T&T native studying at the Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies, grabbed 3-27 and T&T-born Barbadian off-spinner Austin nabbed 3-22 from the same number of overs. The result meant that the CCC finishes the season with 60 points, and T&T move to 70 points with the four they gained from capturing first innings points, but failed in their bid to unseat Windward Islands from second place.
