The 2024 Inter-Primary Cricket Competition began this past Friday with a number games being abandoned due to heavy rains, which ironically arrived around the time the first ball in the new season was bowled. Despite the weather, some games went ahead.

The 2024 competition runs from April to June with 13 participating schools that are divided into two
zones (Zone A and B) in the girls’ and boys’ leagues. Games are 12 overs with each bowler restricted to
bowling three overs. Field sizes are roughly half a football field and teams consist of 11 players. Games
are played on Friday afternoons starting at noon (girls) and 1:00 p.m. (boys) at various primary school
venues.

Cayman Prep A are defending girls’ and boys’ league champions.

Services, the Department of Sports and the Cayman Cricket Association and sponsored by Caribbean
Utilities Company, Ltd. (CUC).
