BCB Golden Jubilee 1939 – 2014 Lower Corentyne defeat Rest of Berbice in U-19 T20 match

Sep 05, 2014 Sports

The Berbice Cricket Board Golden Jubilee celebrations continued on Sunday last with a specially arranged T20 match between the Rest of Berbice and Lower Corentyne Under-19 teams at the Albion Community Centre Ground.
Lower Corentyne, led by national Under-19 player Askay Homraj defeated the Rest of Berbice.
Witnessed by a fair size crowd, Lower Corentyne won the toss and invited their counterparts to take first strike. The Rest of Berbice XI reached 87-9 in their 20 overs with skipper Hakeem Hinds top scoring with 31 (3×4).
He was supported by Arif Chan (13) and A. Miller 12. Bowling for Lower Corentyne, Dimentri Cameron and Daniel Lewis both took 2-12 from four overs. West Indies Under-19 player Shimron Hetmeyer disappointed fans when he threw his wicket away for 6 off the bowling of Sylus Tyndall.
In reply, Lower Corentyne struggled to get the ball off the square until the National Under-19 duo of Balchan Baldeo and Askay Homraj joined forces at 9-2 in the 5th over. Baldeo top scored with 34 while Homraj was his usual aggressive self with 30.
Homraj was dismissed at 77-3 but David Latchaya 3* and Balchan ensured victory without any further blushes. Bowling for the Rest of Berbice, Smith took 2-19 and off spinner Leon Andrew 1-9 from 4 overs each.
Balchan was named player-of-the-match and Best Batsman while Daniel Lewis and Cameron were named Best Bowlers. All three players received special Diamond Jubilee Souvenirs while the winning team received a trophy, compliments of Ramesh Sunich of the Trophy Stall. Chairman of the Diamond Jubilee Celebration Committee Hilbert Foster stated that the main aim of the match was to showcase the rich pool of talent that Berbice has at the youth level and also to honour Mr. Bobby Deonarine of Washington DC for his outstanding contribution to the development of the game in Berbice.
The month of celebrations would be used to educate all Berbicians on the achievements over the years and to make sure that all of the County’s heroes and stalwarts are honoured.
