…raffle for charity will be drawn
The Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) organized 12/12 championships, will conclude at the Everest Cricket Club ground tomorrow, with the playing of the semifinals and finals from 10:00hrs.
Regal XI, Speedboat, Memorex XI and Trophy Stall, have all secured the rights to compete in the semifinals, following their domination over their group opponents.
Speedboat XI defeated Recharge XI and Farm XI to book a meeting with Group C winners Regal XI, who mauled Bartica Challengers and Cotton Field Wild Oats last Sunday. Group A winners Memorex who defeated both Herstelling and Smith’s XI in their preliminary round encounters, will face Trophy Stall who topped Group D, with victories over Universal DVD Titans and Hillfoot Vipers in the second semifinal.
To date, Speedboat XI’s Greg Singh who has so far scored the lone century in the tournament, Regal XI’s Patrick Rooplall and Memorex’s Shimron Hetmyer have all placed themselves in contention for the Man-of-the-Series prize.
Singh scored 126 and 51 in his team’s opening games, Hetmyer a national Under-19 opener slammed an unbeaten 82 and 72 for Memorex, while Rooplall missed being the second batsman to chalk up a century by one run, with his unbeaten 99.
As an added attraction to the hundreds of spectators who are expected to witness the action free of cost, there will be a raffle at $100 a ticket and carries a first prize of one Daewoo double door refrigerator.
