COURTNEY BROWNE is due for another elevation of sorts.
The recently promoted West Indies selector will be one of a handful of current Division One players set to make their debut for reigning G4S Masters Cricket champs LIME when the over-40s league gets under way this Saturday.
Word of Browne’s involvement and the logistics of the upcoming 35 overs-a-side tournament were announced during yesterday’s press launch at the G4S headquarters.
Champion Division One club Spartan is expected to end its long hiatus this season, joining the St Peter-based side Diamondshire as the two new clubs contesting the 34-squad limited overs competition, which is currently in its 30th year.
“The fact that we are catering for our sporting folks over the age of 40 is also great,” said G4S operations manager Terence Gustave.
“The teams have been grouped in four zones where they will play in a round robin format, before the top two squads of each zone advance to the quarter-finals.
This year’s final is scheduled to play for the first time at co-sponsors Banks, who will provide cases of product every week for each home side.
LIME open up at Wanderers this Saturday in Zone D action while Spartan and heated rivals Empire both play host to Inch Marlow and St John Cultural, respectively, in Zone B. (JM)
