RHT Gizmos & Gadgets thumps Moruga Life Sports Centre of T&T in 30 overs match
Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets First Division Team on Tuesday last defeated the Moruga Life Sports Centre of Trinidad by three wickets at the Port Mourant Cricket Ground in an exciting match.
Winning the toss and batting first, Moruga Life Sports Centre was given a solid 51 run opening partnership between Gabriel Blackwell and former Trinidad Under-17 player Silvis Cooper in ten overs before West Indies female pacer Erva Giddings bowled Blackwell for 15.
Richie Joseph joined Cooper and together they added 54 for the 2nd wicket in seven overs before offspinner Khemraj Mahadeo bowled Joseph for 35.
Former Trinidad Under-19 cricketer Adrian Cooper then took the home team’s bowling attack apart with an aggressive 59 (3×4 5×6) as the visitors reached 192 for 8 off their allotted 30 overs. Silvis Cooper supported his elder brother with a solid 49 (5×4).
Bowling for RHTG&G, Erva Giddings took 2 for 15 and Khemraj Mahadeo 3 for 33.
In response, RHTG&G playing without most of their senior players were given a solid start of 56 by National Under-19 player Shawn Pereira (25) and Askay Homraj (28) in nine overs. They however soon found themselves in a spot of bother at 99 for 5 in 17 overs; left arm spinner Adrian Cooper snaring 3 quick wickets.
A 6th wicket partnership of 60 between No. 3 Jason Sinclair and veteran Ravi Narine brought the home team back in the game. Narine was forced to retire hurt for a well played 30 but West Indies female player Shemaine Campbelle (12) and Sinclair added 26 to guide RHTG&G closer to victory.
Campbelle was dismissed off the first ball of the last over with six runs required. Sinclair and Berbice youth player Nicholas Cameron then took their team over the line, Sinclair smashing the last ball for a boundary. Sinclair ended on a well played 61 (6×4).
Bowling for the Trinidadians, Cooper ended with 3 for 29 off his six overs while Celes Patrice took 2 for 34.
RHTY&SC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster wished the visitors a successful tour of Guyana and expressed his club’s willingness to develop a permanent relationship with them. The Moruga Life Sports Centre consists of talented players from the Twin Island Trinidad and are on a tour of Guyana as part of their self development programme.
