Assad Fudadin
At Bourda, GCC galloped to a five-wicket victory as the 23-year-old Fudadin, who played for the West Indies in both the under-15 and under-19 World Cup finals and has three fifties from 21 first-class matches, tormented the batsmen with his off-spin as TSC fell for 110.
Former National under-19 batsman Vishal Singh then continued his good form since his return from his first English season with a solid unbeaten 48 while Fudadin made 18 to see the hosts to 114-5.
Shane Cummings (31) and Singh’s 2007 Guyana under-19 team mate Kellon Carmichael (23) were the only TSC batsmen to offer token resistance on a flat track while leg-spinner Travis Blyden (2-27) bowled well in a losing effort for TSC.
In the other match played on Saturday, Everest, led by an unbeaten 56 from in-form former national under-19 player Troy Gonsalves and 44 from ex-Guyana youth opener Chris Pattadin, beat Police seven wickets at Everest.
Police reached 143-9 off their allotted 40 overs with Reginald Rodrigues hitting 47 as the leg-spin trio of Gonsalves (3-36), West Indies under-15 cricketer Amir Khan (2-24) and former Guyana under-19 player Rakesh Goberdhan (2-23) did the damage with the ball for Everest who reached 145-3 in17 overs.
