GT&T 10/10 Nationwide softball cricket tourney… Albion Ground set to host four more Super-16-round matches today

Apr 15, 2012 Sports

 

 

Following some pulsating encounters at the Everest Ground yesterday, attention will now turn to the Albion Community Centre Ground where Super-16-round action in the GT&T 10/10 Nationwide softball cricket competition will continue with four more matches.
In the male category, Universal Solutions Tigers will tangle with Unstoppable while Regal X1 will come up against Memorex.
In the female matches, Karibee Rice Strikers is set and eager to engage #28 Warriors; Rising Stars will be aiming to continue their rise but will have to get past Albion Tigers is they are to achieve that aim.
Universal Solutions Tigers, led by Rajiv Ivan, has been very impressive in eth lead up to this stage of the knock-out competition dispatching all and sundry quite easily. They certainly have experience on their side having reached last year’s semi finals after defeating Trophy Stall at this stage.
The sky is the limit for them this year but they have to fire on all cylinders in order to get past their opponents, Unstoppable, losing finalists of 2010.
Unstoppable will be seeking to live up to their name and they are very capable of taking apart any team on their day.  At the helm of their quest for a win will be Alfred Garnett.
The Regal X1 / Memorex showdown has all the requirements for an explosive affair with neither team taking each other lightly but going for a win however it comes.
Regal possess a high-quality squad of professionals and have been dominating the scene. They will want to impress all and sundry in eth Ancient County as they have been doing in Georgetown but will find that they will have to pull out all the stops in order to achieve same against worthy opponents, Memorex XI.
Inform batsman Patrick Rooplall who has already notched up solid scores including a few centuries will be called on to maintain that responsibility and will find able support from Chen Gittens who has so far played the supporting role but can also hold his own.
They also have in their line-up Richard Latiff who has a special liking for Berbice teams.
Memorex XI has been a dominant force in Berbice this year and will be enjoying home advantage with the crowd expected to be a roaring one.
Home boy Veersammy Lallbachan will be hoping to hit the opposition out of the match as he usually does and will have support from Roy Jafferally who is in good nick and can dominate any attack. Memorex XI knocked out last year losing finalist’s Celebrity Times last week and will be hoping to add Regal to their list of casualties.
The batting on both teams is quite deep whilst their respective bowlers are all capable of toppling any batting line-up; add a vociferous crowd to the equation and it sets the scene for a scorching affair.
The female side of the competition has produced some high tempo clashes and no less is expected in these two matches.
Karibee Rice Strikers, an experienced unity will hope to turn back the challenge of #28 Warriors. Karibee Rice Strikers has retained most of the members of the victorious Berbice All Stars side which won the competition last year and so far they have been in dismissive mode as they intend to go all the way.
They will continue to bank on the expertise of Captain Erva Giddings, Nikita Toney, Teneza Lenard and the classical Tenesha Cort.
But #28 Warriors will not be intimidated by the star studded line-up of their opponents as they are well aware that the better team on the day will triumph; they hope to be that team as they have a knack for defeating teams from East Berbice. Leading their charge will be Christine Garrett and Melissa Daniels.
Another enthralling match-up is anticipated between Rising Star, a team that has been on the grind all year with some exciting performances recorded. They {Rising Star} upset last year’s Super 16 qualifier Mahaica Queens in the zone final with the likes of opening bat and hard hitter Dianne Prescott who surprised the queens in tearing into the bowling to take her team to victory, being undefeated in the end.
Albion Tigers, with home advantage expected to play a major role have also been quite impressive so far and boast some exciting players the likes of Nermala Sewdat who is also the wicket keeper and Shawna Park, the two forming a formidable opening pair.
Game time is 10:00hrs with lots of giveaways and specials on Blackberry handsets on offer for the fans.
