The 2012 Ramcharitar Construction services 50-Over Knock-out Cricket Competition in Berbice continued last Saturday with the remaining two first round matches which resulted in victories for Albion Community Centre and Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets, both therefore advancing to the second round along with West Berbice, Young Warriors, Edinburgh who drew the bye and Skeldon Community Centre.
Former Guyana 20/20 batsman Jonathan Foo registered the highest score of the competition so far when he slammed 135 for Albion Community Centre against Police. His knock, which included 10 fours and 3 sixes, was backed up by another century from an unlikely source, former West Indies legspinner Devendra Bishoo, who in his new role as a number five batsman for his team, hit 106 which included 9 fours, his highest score at any level. Their efforts saw Albion to a daunting 292 for 6 in 45 Overs.
