The Leeward Islands will host Combined Campuses and Colleges on 19th November 2019. The two teams have followed different trajectories on the way to this game.
The Leeward Islands started the tournament by stamping their authority on the group and winning three back to back games. However, their performances have derailed a bit in the past two games. Two consecutive defeats have pushed them to the second spot on the group table. Leeward Islands are placed on the second spot in Group A of the Windies domestic competition with 12 points in five games.
Combined Campuses and Colleges, on the other hand, have had a tournament to forget this year. The Kyle Corbin led team is on at the rock bottom of group A table with just one win in five games. Both the teams would be desperately looking for a victory in the game.
