Club San­do de­liv­ered a com­mand­ing per­for­mance to se­cure the Pre­mier­ship II Trinidad T20 Fes­ti­val 2026 crown, over­pow­er­ing En­deav­our Sports Club by 70 runs in a high-oc­tane fi­nal at the Queen's Park Oval in St Clair, Port of Spain Sat­ur­day.

​Af­ter win­ning the toss and elect­ing to bat, Club San­do set the tone with a for­mi­da­ble to­tal of 213/7 in their 20 overs. The in­nings was an­chored by a breath­tak­ing dis­play from Guyanese and West In­dies hard-hit­ting bats­man Quentin Samp­son, who smashed 71 runs off just 23 balls, in­clud­ing three fours and eight six­es. Samp­son’s ex­plo­sive knock, which earned him the Man of the Match award, shift­ed the mo­men­tum de­ci­sive­ly in Club San­do’s favour.

​Sup­port­ing Samp­son, skip­per Silus Coop­er con­tributed a brisk 37 from 23 balls, while Keron Ram­per­sad added 38 off 27 de­liv­er­ies. The mid­dle or­der kept the score­board tick­ing, with Matthew Coop­er (16 not out) and Christo­pher Mitchelle (6) en­sur­ing the team crossed the 200-run mark. En­deav­our’s bowlers strug­gled to con­tain the on­slaught, with Al Fayyal Ali (2/34) and San­jay Jawahir (1/45) among the wick­et-tak­ers, though they con­ced­ed runs at a high rate.

​The chase un­rav­els

Chas­ing a daunt­ing tar­get, En­deav­our start­ed bright­ly thanks to an ag­gres­sive 46 from open­er Kyle Bal­raj, who struck six bound­aries and two six­es in his 30-ball stay. Mikeal Sinanan (23) and Rahul Ba­su (23) of­fered brief re­sis­tance, but wick­ets tum­bled at reg­u­lar in­ter­vals as Club San­do’s bowlers tight­ened their grip.

​Adri­an Coop­er starred with the ball for Club San­do, claim­ing 4-29 in his four overs, while Calvin Loubon (2/25) and Jase As­son (3/15) pro­vid­ed ex­cel­lent sup­port. En­deav­our’s chase un­rav­elled quick­ly af­ter the halfway mark, and they were even­tu­al­ly bowled out for 143 in 17.5 overs.

​Cap­tains' re­ac­tions

​Cap­tain Silus Coop­er shared how spe­cial the win was.

“Well, this is re­al­ly spe­cial for Club San­do. This is the first one (T20 ti­tle), com­ing up here twice so far. I think it's awe­some that the guys are re­al­ly proud and hap­py for this mo­ment.”

The win had ex­tra mean­ing for the San Fer­nan­do-based team, which had just missed pro­mo­tion to Pre­mier Di­vi­sion One in the League.

​“Words can­not say how we feel about los­ing by just two points and not com­plet­ing the sea­son with the two-day league ti­tle al­so.”

​It's a long week of cel­e­bra­tions ahead, as broth­ers Silus, Adri­an, and Matthew Coop­er can now share in cel­e­brat­ing crick­et ti­tles this year, along­side broth­ers Cephas (Red Force First-Class win and Pow­er­gen Mid­week 30 Overs) and Akeil (Pow­er­gen) ear­li­er in the sea­son.

​Mean­while, En­deav­our cap­tain Andy Gob­in was pleased with the ef­fort of the run­ners-up.

“It's al­ways a dis­ap­point­ment to lose the fi­nal, but how­ev­er, at the end of the day, one team have to win, one team have to lose. Un­for­tu­nate­ly, we're on the los­ing end to­day, but nev­er­the­less, I think our boys gave a good show­ing through­out the tour­na­ment and through­out the year.”

​On the bright side, En­deav­our was ap­pear­ing in their first fi­nal at this lev­el in lo­cal crick­et, and Gob­in is hap­py they could achieve that mile­stone.

He said, “It's al­ways a good feel­ing, af­ter 20 years or so, the club have reached the T20 fi­nal or a fi­nal in Pre­mier 2 crick­et. But, you know, the good bunch of play­ers we have this year, you know, it's about gain­ing ex­pe­ri­ence. Hope­ful­ly, as I say, we come trumps next year."

​Re­flect­ing on the sea­son

En­deav­our Sports pres­i­dent and man­ag­er Nar­ine Cassie re­flect­ed on the sea­son as the fi­nal marked the end of lo­cal club crick­et.

​“This sea­son for us was re­al­ly good. It start­ed off kind of chal­leng­ing, but we rode the ups and downs. We man­aged to fin­ish fourth in the league. We were los­ing semi­fi­nal­ists in the 50 overs, and in the T20, we ran sec­ond. So it was a re­al­ly good ex­pe­ri­ence.”

​Club San­do’s tick­et to the fi­nal was booked when they de­liv­ered a dom­i­nant all-round per­for­mance to se­cure a 68-run vic­to­ry over Wood­land SC in the semi­fi­nal two at the same venue on Thurs­day night.

​In the oth­er semi­fi­nal clash, En­deav­our clinched a 29-run vic­to­ry over Cal­drac to book their place in the fi­nal.
