Dillon wants ‘good finish’ for Red Force 2018-2019 season

TT RED Force coach Mervyn Dillon wants his team to have a “good finish” to the 2018-2019 West Indies Four Day Championship.

The fifth-placed Red Force will meet table-proppers Jamaica Scorpions, in a rescheduled first round match, at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, starting at 10 am (each day).

The Red Force have endured mixed results lately, as they trounced the Windward Islands Volcanoes by 190 runs in St Vincent last fortnight, but were soundly beaten by six wickets away to leaders Guyana Jaguars last weekend.

Dillon, in an interview last evening, said, “It’s sad that the season is ending.”

The ex-TT and West Indies fast bowler, who replaced Kelvin Williams as coach in January, continued, “The guys are coming together nicely, the atmosphere is really good. It’s really nice to sit down and listen to them, see them have fun and see them play cricket the way they’ve been playing it.”

West Indies players Shannon Gabriel, Lendl Simmons and Kyle Hope are back in the Red Force team, at the expense of Marlon Richards, Yannic Cariah and Tion Webster.
