Antigua and Barbuda was officially crowned the LICA one day champions for 2014, when they defeated St.Kitts in a close game by just 10 runs.
The grand final match was played at the Little Bay Playing field in Montserrat, on Sunday 2nd November.
The St.Kitts team won the toss and elected to give the Antigua/Barbuda team first strike.
The Antigua/Barbuda team struggled to get the ball away on a slow pitch and eventually got to 181 in their allotted 45 overs.

However, a couple of crucial partnerships toward the tail end of the innings, saw them getting within ten runs of the target, when the 45th over was bowled.
