at the end of the 1928 tour constantine returned home and helped trinidad to win the intercolonial tournament. he took 16 wickets in the two games and scored 133 in the final against barbados, the highest score of his career and a record for trinidad at the time. these were his last matches in the tournament, as the rules did not permit professional cricketers (which he became when he signed for nelson) to take part. in 1929 constantine played one match in jamaica for a west indies team against an english touring team and then travelled to nelson to begin his professional career.
