BASSETERRE, St Kitts – Leeward Islands’ Round One Regional 4-Day match against the Combined Campuses & Colleges is set up nicely with both teams still in the mix to go for an outright result.

Day three, however, will be pivotal after 13 wickets fell on Day 2. The students resumed their first innings on 90-2, trailing Leewards’ first-innings score of 164 all out by 74 runs. Shacaya Thomas, who was 56 overnight, could only add three runs to his score before he was bowled by Gavin Tonge.
However, Raymon Reifer batted solidly for the College students, stroking 56 from 97 balls. He struck eight boundaries during his stay at the crease. But wickets continually fell around him. His skipper Steven Jacobs battled to 23 off 48 balls but eventually he fell too.
Leading the charge for the Leewards on Day 2 was Hayden Walsh Jr, who ended with 4-59. Tonge and Kelbert Walters both picked up a couple of wickets. CCC were eventually bowled out for 202, gaining a lead of 38 runs.
The Leewards lost opener Lyndell Richardson with just 26 runs on the board and things didn’t get any better for the hosts. Mali Richards followed six runs later. The Leewards continued to lose wickets steadily throughout the rest of the day.
At 85-5, Jahmar Hamilton and Tonito Willett offered some hope as they have put on an unbroken stand of 50 runs. Hamilton ended Day 2 on 44 not out while Willett is with him, unbeaten on 15. Ryan Austin took 3-46 while Reifer and Jacobs both had one wicket each.
