Enterprise Busta Sports Club is East Coast Elizabeth Style 1st Division Champions
As expected hundreds of cricket fans journeyed from various parts of the East Coast to witness the grand finale of the East Coast Cricket Board/Elizabeth 40 overs cricket competition between Lusignan Sports Club and Enterprise Busta Sports Club at the Lusignan Community Centre. In bright sunshine Lusignan won the toss and invited Enterprise to take first strike. Arif Habib and Vivian Albert started solidly before Habib started a mini assault belting 4 X 4s and 4 X 6s. He was dismissed for 55 with the score at 81 for 1 in the fourteenth over.

Rajendra Chandrika did not last long; he was bowled for 2 by Left arm spinner Emran Khan. Zaheer Mohamed and Albert steadied the innings before Albert went for 39 (4 x 4s). Mohamed was dismissed for 19 (2 X 4s). Parmanand Dindyal and Kamesh Yadram built a mini partnership of 33. Dindyal made 18 (1 X 4s – 1 X 6s) and Yadram contributed 15 (3 X 4s). Enterprise reached 173 for 9 in their allotted 40 overs. Bowling for Lusignan Kumar Bishundyal took 3 for 12 and Narvan Singh 3 for 56.
Lusignan started their run chase badly losing Somnauth Bharrat for 1 off the bowling of Kishore who surprisingly delivered with pace and bounce that troubled all the batsmen who faced him. Soon after Chetram Gangadin, Devindra Bishun and Harnarine Hira fell in quick succession leaving the score at 26 for 4 in the twelfth over. Narvan Singh 21 (3 X 4s) and Surujpaul Deosarran 21 (1 X 4 and 1 X 6) attempted to save the innings but were unsuccessful. The remaining batsmen fell quickly with Lusignan being bowled out for 91 in 30.1 overs. Bowling for Enterprise Kishore took 3 for 16 and Vivian Albert 2 for 18.
At the presentation ceremony witnessed by many supporters of both teams, President of the East Coast Cricket Board Bissoondyal Singh thanked his Executives for executing a well organized tournament and congratulated both teams for reaching the final. He also thanked Singhfamcorp of the USA (manufacturers of Elizabeth Style brand products) for coming on board and expressed gratitude to the management and staff of the company. Singh urged everyone to visit the Company’s facebook page and website (elizabethstyleintl.com).
Each player and match official that participated in the match was presented with hampers containing Elizabeth Style products. Vivian Albert was named man of the match for his stylish 39 and his good bowling, 2 for 18; he was presented with a trophy.
