Police will look to maintain their unbeaten run when they take on Savannah Boys in Round 4 of the North Zone Cricket Council’s Senior Division this weekend. Police currently lead the standings with 78 points, seven points clear of second place Barataria Ball Players.
Both Police and Barataria can boast of three outright wins from three matches played, but Police have sole possession at the top via a superior bonus points tally, 30 to Barataria’s 23.
The Match-ups
The Lawmen should have no problem holding on to the top spot against sixth place Savannah Boys who are struggling with just 14 points from their three matches so far. The Police/Savannah Boys clash will take place at the Police Barracks in St. James.
Barataria Ball Players, meanwhile, will welcome North Coast United to their sixth avenue home. North Coast are fifth in the standings with 17 points from two matches. They are coming off their best result so far, a draw against a strong Santa Cruz unit, where they secured first innings points. Round two saw the Maracas based team lose by an inning and 170 runs to Police, while their Round 1 encounter with Paragon Sports Club was postponed.
Santa Cruz, who is third on the table with 43 points, takes on cellar placed Paragon Sports and Cultural Club at the Brian Lara Recreation Ground in Santa Cruz. They have two first innings wins while Paragon have one loss and one no result. Santa Cruz will be looking to bounce back after dropping points against North Coast in the previous round and hopefully close the gap between themselves and the top two.
Fourth placed Fatima College were due to host seventh placed Glenora Sports Club at Mucurapo Rd. however, that fixture will now be played on the Glenora Ground at the Queen’s Park Savannah. Fatima, through three rounds, have one outright loss, one win on first innings, and one first innings loss for 26 points. Glenora has lost two matches outright and currently has 9 points, two points from a losing draw plus 7 bonus points.
