A fine all-round performance by Andy Dass guided Aurora Secondary to a convincing 102 run victory over Charity Secondary as the Imam Bacchus and Sons Co. schools 40 over cricket competition commenced last Sunday at Affiance on the Essequibo Coast.
In a match, which was reduced to 25 overs due to rain, Aurora were asked to take first strike after their opponents won the toss. The left handed Dass led the scoring with 66 and was ably supported by Kevin Chetram who made 37 as their team managed 176 before they were bowled out in 23.2 overs.
Ronaldo Singh grabbed 3-26, while there were two wickets apiece for Arvin Singh and Ray Lourie. Charity in response fell for 74 in 16.5 overs. Keisho Rooplall 15 and Lourie 13 were the only batsmen that reached double figures as Dass claimed 3-7, Chetram 3-16 and Rovendra Parsram 2-17 for the winners.
The competition which also involves Anna Regina Multilateral, Johanna Cecelia Secondary, Abramsville Secondary and Essequibo Islands Secondary continues on Saturday.
