Crick­et ad­min­is­tra­tor at the Queen's Park Crick­et club, Bryan Davis says uni­ty played a ma­jor hand in his team win­ning the tre­ble in lo­cal crick­et. Queen's Park Crick­et Club won the do­mes­tic T20 ti­tle on Sun­day night de­feat­ing Pow­er­Gen by 92 runs in the fi­nals at Guaracara Park. This was af­ter win­ning the East­ern Cred­it Union Pre­mier­ship ti­tle and the Sun­day league ear­li­er in the sea­son. Davis who is al­so the tech­ni­cal ad­vi­sor at Queen's Park said: "There can­not be one thing that leads a team to suc­cess.

In our case, I think the team uni­ty, right spir­it and hard work at prac­tice is what led to our suc­cess. "The coach and the train­er as well as the man­ag­er did a fan­tas­tic job in get­ting the guys to go out there and per­form and to­day they must take a lot of the praise. Coach David Fur­longe was very good all sea­son, train­er Ish­war Maraj worked the guys very hard and kept them in a state of readi­ness for match­es. "We had the right bal­ance of youth and ma­tu­ri­ty and it paid off for us in the end."

Davis con­sid­ered one of the best crick­et coach­es in this coun­try added: We have a very good de­vel­op­ment pro­gramme at the club and we have a num­ber of very good play­ers com­ing through at the mo­ment. We nor­mal­ly lose a num­ber of play­ers dur­ing the sea­son to the na­tion­al team and the West In­dies team but we have good re­serves com­ing through to make sure we per­form at a cer­tain lev­el. "This says a lot of our de­vel­op­ment pro­gramme and we are very hap­py with our struc­ture at the mo­ment.

We have some very ex­cit­ing play­ers like Justin Guillen, Akeil Ho­sein and Sunil Nar­ine com­ing through and we will con­tin­ue to pro­vide top rat­ed crick­eters at our club." Davis end­ed by say­ing the struc­ture of the do­mes­tic crick­et this sea­son al­so helped the club a lot. "The struc­ture of the do­mes­tic sea­son al­lowed for us to con­cen­trate on one for­mat at a time and we were able to plan ac­cord­ing­ly." The Sun­day league 50 overs was played first and this was fol­lowed by the league se­ries and then the T20.
