Wales are the Cecil Persaud Under-15 champions having defeated Uitvlugt Sunday at the Canal No. Two Sports Club in a 40-overs contest.
Wales opted to bat first having won the toss and managed 110 all out in 32-overs. Chandrika Persaud and Roger Balram were the main contributors scoring 36 and 24 respectively. Rameeze Ally picked up four wickets for 34 runs in his allotted eight overs for Uitvlugt.
When Uitvlugt took the crease, this total seemed too far from their reach as they only managed 57 all out in 20 overs. Dhaniram Latchoo obtained the only respectable score of 15. Brian Deodat was the main destroyer for Wales bagging six wickets for 24 runs in 7 overs. The winner and runner up will receive $20,000 and $10,000 respectively.
This Competition kicked off on April 21, 2007 with the following teams: Cultural Cricket Club, Canal # 2 Sports Club, Wales, All Youths Sport Club, Independence Sports Club, Versailles Sports Club, Meten-Meer-Zorg East, Uitvlugt, Cornelia Ida, Western United and Crane New Stars.
West Demerara Cricket Association’s executive Lalta Digamber who was present at the presentation expresses gratitude to sponsor of the competition, Cecil Persaud of Canal No Two, who has committed to the continuation of the event.
After this game, cricket gear donated by Food For The Poor Inc. was presented to some of the teams present which participated in the competition to get them equipped for the new season.
Meanwhile, quarter-final action in the Third Annual New Line Aqua Farm 40 Overs competition will continue shortly, having been held up by the rain since March.
