LSSC Caribbean tour: Day 8
So it’s finally farewell to the Toucan, Biggs Hotshot Bar and the people of Tobago who taught us to bear the Pochettino news with Caribbean calm: don’t worry, be happy! The island transfer was carried out in two waves. First to leave, at 4:45 am, were those opting for the ferry journey – despite the […]
Golf in class in the Caribbean
By Steve Keenan Ten LSCC squad members took time off cricketing duties to spend the afternoon at the Magdalena Grand Beach Resort, which six months ago took ownership of the surrounding Tobago Plantations course.

LSSC Caribbean tour: Day 7

But I can’t really comment on the batting, having opted instead to watch […]
Match report: Callapso 1
The cricketers slumped to a fairly predictable defeat in their first tour match against C&B Sports in Tobago.
LSSC Caribbean tour: Day 3
A split in the party for delay three, with one group opting for what sounded to me like an exercise in driving a jeep as fast as possible through a nature reserve. I’m sure it was kinder to the environment than that, but more anon. The rest of us attended the tour’s first official event: […]
