Fudadin, Crandon help RTHTWSB beat Y/Warriors

Sep 22, 2009 Sports

Set up Albion, RHTWSB Berbcie zone final

In sweltering heat at the Cumberland ground in Canje, home team and National defending champions Young Warriors lost by 56 runs to Rose Hall Town Windies Sports Bar (RHTWSB) in their Berbice zone semi-final of the National Neal & Massy 40-overs first division cricket competition on Sunday.
First-Class players Assad Fudadin and pacer Esuan Crandon inspired the victory which took RHTWSB not only into the Saturday’s Berbcie zone final against Albion but also a place in the national semi-finals.
The elegant left-handed Fudadin struck 4 fours and 2 sixes in a top score 60 as RHTWSB reached 240-8 in 40 overs on a slow track before Crandon, who made a cameo 30 with the bat, returned to take 3 wickets as Young Warriors, who beat DCC in last year’s final at the Guyana National Stadium, were bowled out for 184 in 36 overs despite 53 from Maxie DeJonge.
Fudadin and Crandon put together 51 for the 4th wicket while Khemraj Mahadeo (40), Terrence Madramootoo (26) and Ravi Narine, with an unbeaten 23 towards the end of the innings propelled the Corentyne combination to a winning total.
Off-spinner Farouk Hussain captured 3 wickets but conceded 60 runs from his six overs while Charran Singh had 2-50 from 8. Medium pacer Paul Wintz, who took 2-24 from 7 overs, was the pick of the Young Warriors bowlers in his first club match since his return from overseas.
The aggressive DeJonge, a former Bermine player, batted in enterprising fashion in his first match for his new club and reached the boundary 6 times and cleared it twice in his first innings since his return from domestic cricket in Trinidad, but although Darrel Narine made 27, nobody really offered much support for Young Warriors who were at one stage well placed on 92-2.
Teenage Eon Hooper (3-37) and the experienced Crandon combined to take six wickets between them as the hosts, urged on by their supporters, slumped from 92-2 to 147-8.
Ravi Narine (3-50) was also among the wickets for the winners.
The winner of the Berbice zone will travel to Essequibo to face the Essequibo winner in the national semi-final while the Berbice runner-up will be at home to the Demerara champions. The National final is fixed for the Stadium under lights.
