Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) Marooners captain, Carlos Brathwaite, says his side’s triumph in the Regional Super 50 Cup was built on a desire not to simply compete but to play an aggressive brand of cricket and win the competition.

Marooners lifted the domestic 50-overs title on Sunday when they trounced ten-time champions Guyana Jaguars by six wickets at Kensington Oval, to register their maiden success in the competition.

“Our motto was we wanted to be respected around the region and [coach] Floyd Reifer instilled in us that we came here to win,” the West Indies Twenty20 skipper said afterwards.

“CCC, in the past have come to compete and when you come to compete and you get that close, then it’s not winning. You always have near-misses. This year, we came to win,” he said. (CMC)
