Tucber Park became the first team to reach the quarter-finals of the Spready’s Bakery Under-19, 50-over Cricket Competition in Berbice after they defeated Police to end Zone B (new Amsterdam/Canje/East Bank) unbeaten.
Shaan Baksh 76 (5 fours and 5 sixes) and Keion De Jesus 63 (4 fours and 3 sixes) led Tucber Park to 250 for 9 in 50 overs. Police were bowled out for 95 in reply.
Kelon Sinclair opening the batting for Gibraltar/Courtland slammed 83 (11fours and 2 sixes), his second consecutive half century, to help his team amass 272 for 7 in 45 overs against Kildonan. After that he opened the bowling with his medium pacers and took 4 for 50 from 9 overs to assist in restricting Kildonan to 186 in reply with Hemraj Mankarran contributing 54. Sinclair had made 67 and took 3 for 38 in his team’s previous match against Big Star.
Lakeraj Sookra’s second consecutive half century for De Edward went in vain as his team still lost to Achievers by 5 runs thanks to a 5-wicket haul from Achievers opening bowler Raun Johnson.
