Rangers Sports Club, Wolf’s Warriors through to semi-finals

Dec 04, 2008 Sports

West Coast Champions Rangers Sports Club and Wolf’s Warriors defeated United Brothers Sports Club and Die Hard Sports Club respectively to book their places into the semi-finals of the Guyana Softball League/Memorex Enterprise countrywide tournament in latest matches. In the first match, United Brothers Sports Club won the toss and elected to bat on a very good wicket.

They started badly losing their first two wickets with only 11 runs on the board to opening bowlers Diaram Persaud and Asif Saffie, but # 3 batsman Raymond Beaton tried to repair the damage with Chabilall Etwaru and the pair added 39 runs but with the introduction of Left armer Jagmohan Singh things started to take a different turn.

First he got rid of the dangerous looking Raymond Beaton for 24 (2×6; 1×4) and Etwaru for 29 (2×6;1×4) for a meager 3 runs from his first over then he took two other wickets in his next over for only 5 runs.
He then returned to capture Shannon Jagmohan, who was making a spirited rearguard fight, for 20.

Singh eventually ended with 5-13 from his allotted three overs and United Brothers fell for 85 in 12 overs. He got support from Captain Asif Saffie 1-13 from 3 overs and Diaram Persaud 1-21 from 3 overs.

Rangers Sports Club showed just why they are Demerara Champions by knocking off the runs in 9.3 overs making 89-2 with Zaheer Haniff 34 not out (2×6;1×4) and Diaram Persaud 30 not out (2×6;2×4) featuring in a partnership of 70 unbeaten runs.

In the second quarter-final Wolf’s Warriors won the toss and inserted Die Hard Sports Club and restricting them to 101 in 14.3 overs, with the top score coming from Jitendra Imrit of 35 (1×4) and Ishwar Singh 34(2×4), the pair featuring in a partnership of 48 runs in 7 overs.

The other batsmen never looked settled in the face of accurate bowling by Ramesh Rambharose 2-16 from 3 overs and Cristiandial Persaud 2-13 from his three overs.

Wolf’s Warriors got the runs (102) without loss in 7 overs with opening bat Azad Azeez cracking 43 not out (5×6) from 18 balls and Balbinder Persaud 39 not out (2×6;2×4) in 24 balls.

Both Rangers Sports Club and Wolf’s Warriors advance to the semi-finals and will await the winners of the next quarter-finals where the top Berbice team, Untouchables XI, take on runners-up Georgetown team, Trophy Stall XI, at 9.30 am and top Georgetown team, Regal XI versus Downtown XI, the runner-up team of Berbice this Sunday at the NIS Ground starting at 12.00 Noon. In another exhibition match Regal ‘B’ XI takes on Knight Riders XI.

Meanwhile, the next Guyana Softball League countrywide tournament will begin shortly and will be sponsored by the Trophy Stall of Bourda Market.
