President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Dr Julian Hunte, has showered the Jamaica cricket team with praise following their record-breaking performance to capture this year's Regional Four-Day title.

The Jamaicans won the region's most prestigious cricket title when they had a superb come-from-behind triumph in the final against Barbados at Sabina Park on Monday to retain the Headley/Weekes Trophy.

They ended the tournament with a perfect record, winning all their preliminary matches as well as the semi-final against Guyana and the grand finale against the Bajans after conceding first innings. The amazing display meant they established a record of five consecutive regional first-class titles under the leadership of captain Tamar Lambert.

"On behalf of the WICB, I would like to congratulate the Jamaica team on an amazing performance, where they swept everyone and everything before them. To play win every match contested is remarkable achievement," Dr Hunte said.

"In achieving that feat they created history by topping the table for a fifth straight year. This is a truly amazing run and everyone involved throughout that period of dominance deserve commendation and congratulations.

"The Jamaicans have conquered the other teams in the region but they have done more than just that. They demonstrated that with planning and team work you could achieve what you set out to do. At the start of the season the stated goal was to win the championship and everything they did on and off the field was done with that goal in mind."
