Left arm spinner, Zachary Jodah took 3-23 from his nine overs while Yohance Angoy and S. Basdeo chipped in with two wickets each.

Speaking at the presentation, GCA President, Roger Harper congratulated the youths for their hard work throughout the tournament and recommended that they continue to work hard as they aim to one day play for the West Indies.
Meanwhile the sponsors suggested that the children remain grounded to the sport and continue to excel with their desires in cricket.
