Persaud, Premnauth guide Maryville to victory in opening game

Sep 12, 2012 Sports

Former Essequibo U-17 player Sunil Persaud grabbed 3 wickets and Tulsieram Premnauth made a fighting unbeaten 28 as Maryville overcame a determined Falcons team to win the opening game of the Phyllis Carter memorial twenty\20 cricket competition played last Sunday at Enterprise in Leguan.
Falcons won the toss and decided to bat in front of a fair sized crowd and were restricted to 70 all out in 19.3 overs in brilliant sunshine.
Parmanand Pariag, the only batsman who offered resistance hit three sixes in a topscore of 35 as Persaud who maintained a tidy line and length finished with 3-15 off 4 overs and was ably supported by Royan George 2-16.
Maryville in response lost a few quick wickets, but Premnauth held his nerves to take his team to victory in 18 overs as they finished on 71-7.  He hit two sixes and one four in his unbeaten innings while Rick Stephen captured 2-10 off 4 overs for Falcons.
Before the game, Chairman of the Leguan Cricket Committee Viren Chintamani thanked the Carter family for assisting in the development of the game on the island and urged the cricketers to continue training on a regular basis. The competition continues on Saturday.
