At the Moruga Multi-sport Youth and Sport Facility, the match between Princes Town West Secondary and El Dorado East Secondary was not completed. Due to road works in Chaguanas, El Dorado arrived at the ground when the match was scheduled to start. An official of El Dorado’s team, who had some of the equipment, went to the wrong ground adding to a further delay.

In an effort to start the match, El Dorado’s team list was written up by another official.

When Princes Town were 97/4 batting first, it was discovered that one of El Dorado’s bowlers was not on the team declaration list and as a result, Princes Town were awarded the match.
