CAVE HILL, Barbados (CMC) - Pacer Gavin Tonge snared four wickets and the Leeward Islands rose above Floyd Reifer's 11th first-class hundred to whip Combined Campuses & Colleges (CCC) by 111 runs in their seventh-round WICB Regional Four-day match yesterday.
Set 328 runs to win at the Three Ws Oval, the CCC got a defiant 101 from the veteran Reifer but were bowled out midway the last session for 216, stretching their winless streak to five games.
The Leewards, lying fifth in the championship standings, completed their second win - in six games - at 4:05 local time and picked up maximum 12 points to trail Jamaica (60), Barbados (51), Trinidad and Tobago (39) and the Windward Islands (36).
In the eighth round starting Friday, the beginning of the return matches, CCC will be idle while the Leeward Islands travel to face leaders and title-holders Jamaica.
At Providence, Guyana drew with Trinidad & Tobago on the final day of their match at the National Stadium.
