Nov 23, 2012 Sports

Carib Beer division one T20 competition organised by the Berbice Cricket Board continued recently with second round matches; outstanding performances were recorded by debutants Cotton Tree Die Hard who after going down to Bush Lot United Rising Star in the first round play created a major upset when they beat Blairmont Community Centre.
Blairmont did well to post 173 in their 17 overs despite off spinner Roshan Gaffoor picking up 4 for 28 from 4 overs for Cotton Tree.
In reply Cotton Tree stumbled to be 30 for 3 but Lakeraj Sookra blasted 85 (3×4 9×6) and together with 31 from Heeralall Bridgelall saw them to a 4 wicket victory with 5 balls to spare.
Raffiel Estriado slammed 70 (6×4 3×6) to spearhead West Berbice to 181 in 20 overs against Bush Lot United Rising Star who in their response ran up against two of Guyana’s fastest bowlers – Keon Joseph who took 4 for 18 from 4 overs and Brendon Bess (2 for 28), and could only muster 98 in their 20 overs.
After Bermine found themselves slipping at 43 for 4 in 10 overs against Young Warriors Universal DVD, their No. 6 batsman Keion De Jesus slammed a quick fire 63 (5×4 5×6) off 36 balls to boost them to 136 for 8 in their 20 overs.
When Young Warriors responded, national Under-19 pacer Romario Shepherd De Jonge accounted for Richard Ramdeen (0) and Gajanand Singh (2) to have them 31 for 2 giving Bermine some hope.
But that sooned changed as the Hetmyer brothers, Shimron 52 (10×4 1×6) and Seon 58* (4×4 4×6) hammered the Bermine bowling to see their team to a comfortable 6 wicket victory.
