Mico lift six-a-side trophy

Mico won the inaugural Jamaica Cricket Association Six-a-side female cricket competition on Saturday at Melbourne Cricket Club in Kingston.

Mico with three national players and captained by Roshana Outar won four of their six matches and ended with 12 points. The other two national players are Alecia Pookal and Trudy-Ann Mullings.

Melbourne Cricket Club claimed second place with nine points after winning three of their matches. They were led by national player Vanessa Watts.

DW People's Choice, captained by West Indies player Stafanie Taylor, bagged third place. They also ended on nine points, but were beaten by Melbourne in their head-to-head match-up.

Fourth place went to St Ann who had Chanel Daley of the national team on their side. St. Ann also won three matches, but were given third place as per the competition rules.

Mico's coach Altimont Solomon was very pleased with his team's performance especially since it's the first local female competition for few years. He said that Outar, Pookal and Mullings were on full scholarship and had been training well while looking forward to more competition at the national level.

Chairman of the organising committee, Dorothy Hobson, said that the response to the staging of the competition was very encouraging. She expects that plans are afoot to stage a full competition for females.
