New Inter-Primary Cricket champions to be crowned this week

This past Friday marked the seventh and final round of regular season action in the exciting 2024 Inter-Primary Cricket Competition. With the semi-finals set for Wednesday, May 29 and the finals on Friday, May 31, new champions will be crowned in the boy’s and girl’s divisions.

In the boy’s semi-finals, undefeated Zone A winners East End Primary School will face Zone B runners-up Cayman International School and undefeated Zone B winners St. Ignatius Catholic go up against Zone A runners-up Prospect Primary for a place in the final.

In the girl’s semi-finals, undefeated Zone A winners East End Primary School play defending champions and Zone B runners-up Cayman Prep A and undefeated Zone B winners St. Ignatius Catholic face the Zone A runners-up, which is still to be determined. The two schools vying for the runners-up spot in Zone A are Prospect Primary and Edna Moyle Primary. The semi-final spot may be determined by runs scored or conceded depending on Edna Moyle Primary’s result from their game in hand against Red Bay Primary.
