SVG finished third with 16 points, behind new champions St Lucia, who registered 22 points.

The Vincentians, after having to contend with a no-decision against St Lucia, earned first innings points from Dominica and Grenada.

SVG faced Grenada in their final match at Portsmouth, and needed an outright win to keep their chances alive. But that was not to be, as the match, like the previous encounters, was affected by rain.

Nellon Pascal, 50; Keone George, 39; Lindon Lawrence, 38. Off-spinner Kenneth Dembar, in his debut match, snared 5 for 45; Bobb 2 for 41 and Keron Cottoy 2 for 54.

Ray Casimir took 5 for 90, Kevin James, 2 for 17, and Liam Sebastian, 2 for 45. In response, Dominica made 112. Dellorn Johnson finished with 5 for 36.

Asked to follow on, Dominica made 216. Kevin James made 50 and Liam Sebastian, 39. Alston Bobb snapped up 7 for 68. In snatching the title, St Lucia came from behind to defeat Dominica in their last match. Dominica batted first and made 177.

Grayson Pacquette struck 87. Emon Alexander had 4 for 24, Alex Antoine — 2 for 22, and Xavier Gabriel — 2 for 59, bowling for St Lucia.St Lucia were dismissed for 167. Shane Shillingford grabbed 4 for 17, and Liam Sebastian, 3 for 25.

Dominica in their second innings were undermined by the spin of Dalton Polius, who grabbed 8 for 25 from 13.4 overs to dismiss the home team for 102.

Jerlani Robinson hit 41. In search of 113 for victory, St Lucia were at one stage 22 for 5, but Mervin Wells, who hit 62 not out, saw his team to 114 for 8 and the 2012 title. Shane Shillingford collected 4 for 30 and Ray Casimir 4 for 35.
