Blackbirds could pick up fourth title

UWI Blackbirds are on course for a fourth cricket title this year.

After making a clean sweep of the three major Barbados Cricket Association’s trophies this season, winning the Sagicor General Twenty20 and Super50 titles as well as the Elite Division championship, only St James Settlers now stand in their way.

Following hard-fought semi-final victories earlier this week, the Blackbirds and Settlers will clash in the final of the UWI/C.O. Williams Twenty20 Inter-Parish Cricket Championship at the 3Ws Oval from 7 p.m. today. 

Led by a fine all-round performance by Jamaican leg-spinner Akeem Dewar, UWI Blackbirds defeated St Lucy Pirates by 11 runs in their semi-final on Wednesday night. (EZS)
