For the second year in succession, Ashley Marks of the South Rivers Methodist School, was adjudged the Best Fielder.

Joshua Farrell of the St Mary’s Roman Catholic School earned the title of Best Bowler and the Best Batsman was the Cane End Government’s, Akeem Alexander.

The St Mary’s Roman Catholic, which reached the finals for the first time, place third and copped the award for the Most Disciplined School.

The Kiddy Cricket programme has been in place in the Caribbean since 2001.

West Indies players Kemar Roach, Kraigg Braithwaite, Darren Bravo, Jermaine Blackwood and English player Chris Jordan, who was born in Barbados, have all come through the ranks of Kiddy Cricket.

Kiddy Cricket is the brainchild of Dr Michael Seepersaud, a former Chief Cricket Development Officer of the West Indies Cricket Board.
