Perez and Imlach steer Harpy Eagles to victory over CCC
Fri, Apr 19, '24
Half-centuries from Raymond Perez and Tevin Imlach sealed a vital eight-wicket win for Guyana Harpy Eagles over Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) in the final round of the West Indies Four-Day Championship at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, Trinidad.
However, the fifth consecutive victory does not guarantee the Harpy Eagles the title, as they would have to await the results of the other matches, which conclude on Saturday.
The tournament champions will win US$250,000, while the second-placed team will receive US$100,000.
Starting day three 165-7, CCC lost their remaining wickets for 38 runs, which set the defending champions a target of 181.

Sponsors pull out of local youth cricket tourneys
Thu, Apr 18, '24
THE Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) has lost sponsorship of all its youth tournaments.
Board president Azim Bassarath said on April 17 that the backlash from an ongoing administrative dispute with former TTCB treasurer Kiswah Chaitoo and a police investigation into another ex-employee had hampered investors.
Asked if these recent issues had any impact on the board’s relationship with sponsors, Bassarath said they’ve been “severely affected.”
“We have lost all our sponsors for our youth tournaments. Only to say that on that matter. There’s the matter with not only the treasurer, but also the former employee who would have committed an act which is also before the police. But it has severely affected the board’s finances,” he said at the National Cricket Centre in Balmain, Couva, on April 17.
The loss of sponsorship stems from Chaitoo’s December 2023 revelation to the board on his findings of the misuse of approximately $500,000 over a five-year period. A TTCB employee has since resigned.
