independence weekend in the Limacol Caribbean Premier League and put the call
out to Zouks fans to help lift the team to victory over the Barbados Tridents at
Beausejour.
St.
Lucia Zouks Captain, Darren Sammy:
“Without a
doubt, the Zouks fans have the most energy and enthusiasm of the Caribbean
Premier League and I know that they will come out and have a great time. The
fans came to the Digicel store to buy their tickets and showed us – with their
encouraging words – that they still believe in us and so we are looking to put
on a great show.
He
continued; “We have been training hard and we plan to execute, so we are asking
the fans to come out in their blue and show your support for the Zouks as we
light up Beausejour tonight.”
The Zouks
will be seeking to record their first win of the tournament at the Beausejour
Cricket Grounds at 8pm this evening, to repay the
faith of the fans and an expectant and noisy crowd. A win tonight would help
the St. Lucia Zouks build some momentum into vital matches this weekend against
the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel on Saturday at 4pm and the Antigua
Hawksbills on Sunday at 4pm.
Children
under the age of 12 will have free access to the watch the game this evening in
what should prove to be an exciting match. Kids must
be present at the stadium box office on match day to redeem their free ticket,
and they will then be directed to their designated stand.
Fans who visited the Digicel store were encouraged to get their tickets and come out to the Beausejour Cricket Grounds to enjoy exciting cricket |
