Geest Line and their local agents HHV Whitchurch were happy to lend a small gesture of support to the Twenty-20 match between the iconic teams of the West Indies and New Zealand at Windsor Park Stadium, Roseau recently.
Geest Line positioned one of their containers at the famous ground to help with storage of consumables over the weekend. Despite rainy conditions, the teams as expected performed to a high level for the excited crowd. The two match series ended in an honourable draw with NZ taking the Saturday game on the D/L method due to rain, with the WI finishing on a high during Sunday with 165 for 6 off their twenty overs – then skittling out the NZ tourists for 126.
Andre Fletcher of the West Indies gained the Man Of The Match Award for his two innings totalling 114 runs.
Geest Line UK have a long history with Dominica and the Eastern Caribbean, bringing many success stories through the import & export trades for the local community and industry at large – however cricket is one export from the UK we have yet to master (a work in progress you could say!)..
