Mark Gonsalves stroked a fine 48 as Gunners grabbed a comfortable 6-wicket victory over Charity “A” when play in the R and D Engineering Service twenty\20 cricket competition continued last Sunday in North Essequibo.
In response to Charity “A” total of 89 all out in 18.2 overs, Gunners despite losing a few early wickets, won the game in 11overs as they finished on 93-4 at the Lima ground. Hemant Beharry supported Gonsalves with 13 as Ricardo Barakat captured 3-20 for Charity “A”, while Beharry 3-15, Greyson Paul 2-10, and Herry Green 2-11 did the damage with the ball for Gunners.
Earlier in the day at the same venue, Lima overcame Charity “B” by 14 runs. The host took to the crease first and managed 134-7 in 20 overs with Basdeo Khemraj top scoring with 36, while Nimron Bahadur assisted with 19. Daniel Ragoobeer captured 3-24 and Jimez Cornelius 2-14 for Charity “B” who replied with 120 all out in 17.3 overs.  Keisho Rooplall and Iglesias Vansluytman were the only batsmen that showed fight with 20 and 18 respectively as Subash Maipaul collected 3-22 for the victors.
At Devonshire Castle, the home team won their encounter against Young Achievers by 12 runs. Andy Persaud led the batting with 34 and got support from Arvinda Persaud who made 23, and 21 from Ramesh Narine as Devonshire Castle posted a challenging 168-7 off their allocation of overs. Ravin Narine and M. Mohan claimed 2 wickets each. Nazeem Mohamed then crafted an even half century and Orlando Persaud chipped in with 33 but their efforts were not enough to take their team home as they finished on 156-7 when their overs expired. Manoj Lall bowled economically to capture 3 wickets for 10 runs, while Avinash Persaud took 2-34.
At Walton Hall, the host got the better of Richmond Titans by 42 runs. Walton Hall batted first and piled up 168-9 after the game was reduced to 16 overs due to rain. Uvindra Balgobin 18, Ryan Tang 18, and Tameshwar Ramesh 16 got starts but failed to carry on as Ganesh Persaud maintained a healthy line to take 3-4, while Suresh Persaud collected 2-30.
Titans were then skittled for 126 in 16 overs in reply. Keron Sewnarine and J. Nauth were their leading scorers with 33 and 17 respectively as Navin Bahadur bowled with good control to capture 3-8, while Balgobin and Suraj Sookdeo picked up 2 each. The competition continues on Sunday.   (Zaheer Mohamed)
