NBS\GCA second division competition…Williams, Narayan hit half centuries in MSC win

Sep 25, 2012 Sports

 

Shaquille Williams and Vishal Narayan slammed contrasting half centuries as Malteenoes Sports Club trashed University of Guyana by 138 runs as the New Building Society\ Georgetown Cricket Association second division 40 over competition continued last weekend with a number of matches.
At Malteenoes, the home team won the toss and decided to bat and posted 217-7 after the game was reduced to 39 overs. Williams struck five fours in a top score of 56 (5X4) and received valuable support from Narayan who made an even half century, inclusive of five fours. Nikosie Barker 23 and Kwame Crosse 20 were the other leading run getters as off-spinner Royston Alkins and Damien Vantull picked up 2 wickets apiece.
UG in reply were never in the hunt and fell for 79 in 18.3 overs. Suresh Dhanai with 20 not out and Nicholas Carryl 16, were the only batsmen that reached double figures as leg spinner Steven Sankar bagged 4-5 off 2.3 overs, while Crosse returned to claim 4-28 from 5.At Everest, the home team won their encounter against Third Class after the latter eventually conceded defeat. Third Class who won the toss and batted were 124-4 in 33 overs when a player whose name was not on the list of players submitted to the umpires before the toss appeared to bat. The home team captain, however gave permission for the player to continue the match but told the umpires his team will protest the game if they ended up on the wrong side of the result which prompted Third Class Captain to throw the match.
Randy Ramrup was unbeaten on 43(3×4), while Clint Jones made 29 and Alvin Castello 20. Kevin Paul and Javed Rasheed had so far took 2 wickets each for Everest.
Meanwhile on Sunday, University of Guyana made light work of Ace Warriors, winning the game by 10 wickets at the Malteenoes Sports Club ground.
Ace Warriors won the toss and elected to bat first and were bowled out for 129 in 23.3 overs. Garth Allen hit five sixes and one four in a top score of 54 as left arm spinner Damien Vantull captured 4-33 off 8 overs and Dennis Heywood 3-44 from 5. UG then responded with 130 without loss in 17.5 overs with Dwayne Dodson leading the way with 60(5×4), while Nicholas Carryl made 38(4×4).
The competition continues on Saturday with the semifinal matches.
