Congrats Papine/Eltham/Excelsior High on winning.


Did all these players from Eltham and Excelsior that went to Papine go to six form?

How the sit out rule didn't apply if they didn't?

In reply to mikesiva... that's only in the urban competitions. STETHS still rules the island.


Also, this shift (urban) has been taking place some 3 to 5 yrs now.

I'm not so sure if thats a good thing.

In that..does it mean the non traditional schools are improving, or are the traditional schools shifting their resources and focus away from cricket.

Which means, corporate sponsors and funding will also be diverted away from the sport, further hastening its death.

That's just my 2 cents, if the KCs, and the JC's and Calabars not bringing attention to it, then I fear you maybe not attracting your best "athletes"
