In the only game possible, Universal DVD Young Warriors cricket club (UDVDYWCC) crushed Skeldon Community Centre by a massive 125 runs in the game which was played at the Cumberland ground in East Canje.
The UDVDYWCC’s commanding victory was led by a fine half century by former West Indies Under-19 and Guyana senior middle order batsman, Gajanand Singh and career best bowling figures by Berbice Under-19 all rounder, Karamchand Ramnarine.
The host UDVDYWCC won the toss and took first strike in the match that was reduced to 45 overs due to preparation moisture. They were off to a good start as openers, national senior T20 standby Shimron Hetmeyer and former Berbice senior opener, Maxie DeJonge put together 37 before they were separated. DeJonge was the first to go bowled by Junior Blair for 12. Gajanand Singh then joined forces with Hetmeyer and they put together 28 runs before Hetmeyer went for a well played 30 (6×4).
Singh continued to carry the fight with the rest of the batsmen for a top score of 60 (4×4, 1×6) with support coming from former Guyana Under-19 all rounder Linden Austin 25 and Vishal Mohabir 27as they ended on 225 all in 43.4 overs.
Bowling for Skeldon CC, Sherwin Murray, Junior Blair and Berbice U-19 selectee, Parmanand Narine took two wickets each.
Skeldon CC in reply were befuddled as they had no answer to the left arm spin of Ramnarine who took 7 for 46, as they were bundled out for 105 in 33.3 overs. Verendra Gooniah made 37 and Narine returned to score 16. The UVDVDYWCC has reached the semi-finals and now await the winner of the game between West Berbice Super Kings and Port Mourant Karibee Rice.
The competition continues this weekend with one game set for tomorrow with Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets clashing with Cotton Tree Die Hard at the Area “H” ground from 09:30hrs.
