Sep 10, 2013 Sports

 

The inaugural Berbice River Bridge Company (BRBC) first division 50-over knock-out cricket competition resumed at the semi-final stage recently after an almost four mouth break due to the prolonged rainy season.
Albion were led to an easy victory on account of a well composed 73 from Jonathan Foo, while Guyana Under-19 left arm spinner Gudakesh Motie snared 5-16 to lead their team to victory over arch rivals Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets thus earning a place in the final.
Enjoying home advantage in a game reduced to 45 overs per team as a result of overnight rain, Albion Community Centre sent in to take first strike, had an opening stand of 83 in 23.4 overs between Sewnarine Chattergoon (39) and Kandasammy Surujnarine (35).
Both batsmen however fell in quick succession, West Indies batsman Narsingh Deonarine fell for 4 and Albion’s latest recruit Anthony Bramble 2 as Albion slipped to 124 for 4 in 25.1 overs.
Foo came to the rescue by first putting on 52 for the 5th wicket with Devendra Bishoo (26) and then 39 for the 6th wicket with David Latchaya (24) before he {Foo} fell for 73 (5×4 2×6) at 215 for 6 in 43.4 overs.
Albion eventually reached 224 for 9 in their 45 overs. For Rose Hall Town, former West Indies batsman Assad Fudadin bowling medium pace took 3 for 51 from 9 overs and Berbice offspinner Eon Hooper 3 for 31 from 9.
Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets were given a flying start by Renwick Batson and Guyana Under-19 batsman Askay Homraj who between them put on 39 in just 5.5 overs. After Homraj fell for 18, Fudadin joined Batson and they added another 67 in the next 16.5 overs before Fudadin was caught behind off Motie for 29, leaving Rose Hall Town at 106 for 2 after 22.4.
However without a further run added, legspinner Bishoo removed Batson for 52 (5×4 1×6), then Berbice Under-19 all-rounder Sharaz Ramcharran, bowling offspin, snapped up three wickets, including all-rounder Rajiv Ivan for 11.
With Motie going full flight the batting never recovered as Rose Hall Town lost their last 8 wickets for a mere 42 runs to be all out for 148 in 38.2 overs. Motie ended with figures of 5 for 16 from 7.2 overs and Ramcharran 3 for 19 from 9.
