BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Reigning champions Barbados Pride and fellow hometown team Combined Campuses & Colleges Marooners launched the Regional Super50 Festival with resounding victories in Group “A” today here.

Lethal spells from WINDIES fast bowling pair of Miguel Cummins and Kemar Roach followed up solid batting led by uncapped all-rounder Kevin Stoute and WINDIES batsman Roston Chase to lead Pride to a convincing, 171-run victory over Trinidad & Tobago Red Force.

And, the batting of the Barbados-based Marooners, led by Kjorn Ottley, set things up before their bowlers, led by veteran left-arm spinner Ryan Hinds, formalised a comfortable 115-run victory over Windward Islands Volcanoes.

Well, amazing how far the competitive pride have fallen in some teams in regional cricket, both teams lost by more than one hundred runs, very unusual in ODI cricket in these times anywhere in the cricket world.
