The large and vocal crowd was entertained by some heavy hitting from both sides as the Mc Gill Superstars of Number One Canal Polder found it difficult to contain former under-19 player Balbinder Shivpersaud who scored 76 not out with eight fours and four sixes.
Batting first the Mc Gill Superstars started slowly but managed to score 170 due to some superb hitting from Rajiv Balgobin who scored 69 with seven sixes and four fours. Naresh Bedasie also contributed 32 with five sixes.
In reply Zeeburg needed only twenty one overs to overhaul the total, scoring 171 for the loss of only two wickets. Shivpersaud was supported by Yutesu Dhanpaul who scored 34 with three fours and three sixes. Bowling for Mc Gill was tedious as only Jevon Hector managed to contain the batsmen conceding only fifteen runs in the four overs he bowled while snaring one wicket.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony Vice President of the West Demerara Cricket Association, Anand Sanasie, urged the players to remain focused and disciplined on and off the field. He further informed all present that this competition marked the end of the 2012 season and, beginning in January, youth coaching programmes will commence at Wales and Zeeburg grounds for under-15 players. He thanked the competitions committee and sponsors for their continued dedication to the development of cricket.
