Rose Hall Community Centre crowned champions
On a day blessed with brilliant sunshine and a crowd that is possibly the largest one for any kind of cricket in the county of Berbice for the longest while, the youthful Rose Hall Community Centre emerged champions
after defeating Buski Eleven in the final. The day was packed with fun and entertainment for the entire family with eleven second division teams from the No 19 Straight Road to Gangaram area participating. The well organised five over aside competition started with the host Young Warriors CC defeating Gangaram and Buski Eleven defeating No 19 Kendall’s Union. Seawell then defeated Canefield, eventual winners Rose Hall CC beat Betsy Ground Triple Star, No 7 overcame Goed Bananen Land. 2014 champions Young and Restless drew the bye.
In the second round, Young Warriors surrendered to Buski Eleven who drew the bye to the final. Seawell succumbed to Rose Hall CC. The final match of the second round was the biggest upset with defending champions Young and Restless losing to debutant No 7. In the only semifinal, Rose Hall CC were again dominant with their youthfulness and disposed of No 7.
In the final, Rose Hall CC beat Buski Eleven by a better run rate.
Man of the match medals donated by Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club were awarded for every match. Outstanding players of the day were Rudolph Baker of the YWCC, David Loaknauth of Buski Eleven, Jainabi of Seawell, Raymond Mohamed of No 7. The most consistent player though was the man of the match in the final and two preliminary matches, Andrew Grant of RHCC.
The winners took home $60,000 and a beautiful trophy, the runner up $30,000 and a trophy, the man of the match for the finals $5,000, a trophy and a medal. The third place team No 7 took home $15,000 and the fourth place winner YWCC $10,000.
