CUB Bethesda Golden Eagles emerged champions of the State Insurance Corporation-sponsored Super 40 Cricket Competition in Bethesda on Sunday, clinching a close contest against Anderson E Carty Empire Nation by six wickets to claim top honours in the grand finale hosted by Antigua and Barbuda Cricket Association (ABCA).
