Courtland All Stars humble Albion Community Centre to take Raffik & Sons 20-Over title

Nov 30, 2013 Sports

 

Courtland All Stars are the 2013 Raffik & sons Construction Services Second Division 20-Over Cricket Champions in the Lower/Central Corentyne area. In the final played at the Chesney Ground, they outplayed the youthful Albion Community Centre, soundly enough to beat them by 8 wickets with 9-Overs to spare.
Albion Community Centre won the toss and took first strike, their two most established batsmen – former Guyana-19 batsman Kandasammy Surujnarine and Berbice Under-17 allrounder Balchan Baldeo gave Albion Community Centre 14 runs in the first over off pacer Keon Sinclair. They only got 2 off the second over off offspinner Troy Matheson and then in Sinclair’s 2nd and 3rd Overs he removed both of them, Baldeo for 15 and Surujnarine for 5 to have them 25 for 2 after 4.2 Overs.
However, the young batsmen try as they might, could not challenge the bowling of Matheson, offspinner Travis Williams, pacer Michael Cummings and medium pacer John Percival.
It took some perseverance from Berbice Under-17 cricketer Ritesh Umrow, who made 20 N.O., to help Albion reach 94 for 6 off their 20 Overs. Bowling for Courtland, Keon Sinclair ended with 2 for 31 from 4 Overs, Troy Matheson 1 for 4 from 4 Overs, Michael Cummings 15from 4 Overs, Travis Williams 0 for 17 from 4 Overs and John Percival 0 for 17 from 3 Overs.
When Courtland All Stars replied, their opener, former Berbice pacer Eon Gibson and Troy Matheson hit offspinner Balchan Baldeo for 13 runs in the first over, setting the stage for an onslaught. Baldeo however had Matheson caught for 11 in his second over to have them at 18 for 1 in 2.2 overs.  Michael Cummings joined Eon Gibson and the mayhem resumed with the two of them putting on 51 between them in 7.2 Overs before Cummings went for 21 (2 sixes and 1 four). Sinclair joined Gibson at 69 for 2 in 9.4 Overs and it took just 8 more balls to take Courtland All Stars home to 98 for 2 in 11 Overs with Eon Gibson 34 N.O and Keon Sinclair 11 N.O.
Eon Gibson was adjudged Man-of-the-Match, Courtland All Stars received the winning trophy and $20,000, while Albion Community Centre uplifted $10,000.
Meanwhile, Fyrish ended in the third position in the competition after they defeated Port Mourant by 50 runs in the 3rd and 4th place play-off.
Fyrish sent in to take first strike made 165 for 5 in their 20 Overs with Monilall Shivdyal 40, Yudindra Chainaen 20 and Javed Mohamed 20.  Port Mourant replied with 115 all out in 19.4 Overs with Rudrunauth Lauchman 23. Bowling for Fyrish Monilall Shivdyal 3 for 22 and Hassan Hussain 2 for 26.
