Nov 12, 2010 Sports

Arch rivals Albion Community Centre and Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets would clash in the finals of the 2010 BCB/Tenelec Inc 50 Overs First Division Tournament after easily defeating their opponents in the semifinals of the tournament on Saturday.
Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets defeated Bermine by 117 runs while Albion Community Centre got pass West Berbice by 72 runs. Discarded national players Delbert Hicks and Sewnarine Chattergoon both stroked centuries while veteran left arm spinner Ravi Narine claimed seven wickets to highlight the high standards of the two matches.
At the Area “H” ground in Rose Hall Town the home team won the toss and elected to bat and were given a solid start by openers Delbert Hicks and Renwick Batson after the match was reduced to 45 overs due to preparation moisture.
Batson and Hicks added 177 for the first wicket in 24 overs as they took the attack to the Bermine attack.
The first fifty of the partnership was achieved in the 8th over, the hundred in the 14th and the 150 in the 20th over. The partnership was broken when Batson was run out in a terrible miscue with Hicks for a well played 80 with seven fours and two sixes. Hicks was joined by national player Assad Fudadin as they added 36 for the 2nd wicket before Fudadin was dismissed for 15 and six runs later Hicks was bowled by medium pacer Julian Moore for a brilliant 101 that included nine boundaries and three huge sixes.
Useful contributions from Esuan Crandon 25 and Jason Sinclair 30 enabled Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets to reach 293 for 7 off their allotted 45 overs. Bowling for Bermine, Devon Clements took 2 for 41 and Julian Moore 2 for 50 while Joemal and Eugene La Fleur claimed a wicket each.
Bermine in reply lost opener Romario De Jonge in the first over caught behind by Hicks for nought off medium pacer Assad Fudadin. Opener Keron De Jesus and skipper Eugene La Fleur then featured in a solid 80 runs partnership for the 2nd wicket before leg spinner Shawn Perreira had De Jesus caught at long on by Dominic Rikhi for 36. La Fleur 49, Joemal La Fleur 16 and Devon Clements 42 were the only other batsmen to reach double figures as the Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets spin based attack kept the visitors under tight reign.
Ravi Narine ended with seven wickets for 33 runs from 8.2 overs while Fudadin, Perreira and Eon Hooper took a wicket a piece.
At the Blairmont Community Centre ground, Albion Community Centre defeated West Berbice by 72 runs in a match reduced to 45 overs. Batting first after winning the toss, Albion Community Centre ended on 222 for 9 off their allotted overs as former Test player Sewnarine Chattergoon reminded the national selectors of his talent with a magnificent 116 which included 13 boundaries. He received support from his younger brother Harrinarine Chattergoon 35 and national senior player Veerasammy Permaul 28.
Bowling for West Berbice, national pacer Keon Joseph ended with 3 wickets for 39 runs from 6 overs, Krisendat Ramoo 2 for 40 from 8 overs while Jermaine Reynolds, Steffon Adams and Carlston Nurse each took a wicket a piece.
West Berbice in reply were dismissed for 150 in 37 overs as only Kwesi Mentore 34, Steffon Adams 16 and Keith Fraser 12 reached double figures as the all spin attack of Albion applied pressure from both ends. Off spinner Ramnarine Chattergoon took 3 wickets for 26 runs (4.3 overs), Veerasammy Permaul 4 for 32 from 8 overs and Harrinarine Chattergoon took 2 for 30 from 8 overs.
Albion Community Centre and Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets would clash in the final on Sunday at the Albion Community Centre ground starting at 09.30 hours.
