Barbados: Interesting Match-Ups For Finals

The Barbados Nation

Today marks the beginning of the end of the Courts/Suzuki Division 1 cricket competition.

Second-placed Cable & Wireless BET have to do all the running if they are to snatch the top prize of a $45 000 car from Police in the final round of matches.

BET face Big B Spartan at Queen's Park in what is likely to be a challenging affair even though Spartan have been in poor form in the latter part of the season.

Four points separate BET and leaders Police. The lawmen on 70 points have an assignment at Weymouth with United Carlton, who are in sixth spot on 38 points.

All the other games have no bearing on the title, but players will play for pride.

One game which will generate some interest is the Banks vs Sports & Games YMPC clash at Beckles Road. Three former YMPC stalwarts, Winston Reid, Mark Estwick and Stephen Lorde had a fallout before the season, and they will want to settle the score when they return "home".

Police vs United Carlton at Weymouth;
Big B Spartan vs Cable & Wireless BET at Queen's Park
Mount Gay Maple vs BCL at Trents
ESA Field Pickwick vs CHIC Schools South at Kensington Oval
CHIC Schools North vs ICB Empire at Alleyne School, Belleplaine
Cockspur Wanderers vs BNB St. Catherine at Dayrells Road
Sports & Games YMPC vs Banks at Beckles Road.

Police 70, Cable & Wireless BET 66, ICB Empire 47, Big B Spartan 41, Mount Gay Maple 40, United Carlton 38, Sports & Games YMPC 36, ESA Field Pickwick 30, Banks 30, BNB St. Catherine 30, CHIC Schools North 27, Cockspur Wanderers 20, CHIC Schools South 10, BCL 9.
