Victory for Leslie Alleyne in last weekend’s Sol Go Further June Safari (June 27/28) has inscribed his name in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) record books yet again. His seventh victory not only moved him one ahead of fellow ‘June’ veteran Wayne Clarke, but also carried him back 25 years, to his first appearance on the BRC’s longest-running

 A brilliant 82 from skipper Kieron Pollard was not enough to steer the Tridents to their fourth successive win and against the odds the Patriots from St Kitts and Nevis recorded their first win of the 2015 campaign. It didn’t look like a thriller was on the cards when the Patriots posted a modest 143-8, but as so often happens in Twenty20

Red Steel won the toss and elected to bat but they got off to a disastrous losing their first four wickets for only three runs. Man-of-the-Match Jason Holder (3-11) did the early damage and the visitors never

The Barbados Tridents got their 2015 CPL campaign off to a great start at the Kensington Oval with an emphatic 49 runs win over the strong Guyana Warriors.
