Enmore Masters win Trevor Wharton birthday competition

Aug 16, 2015 Sports

Despite fine all-round display from Deonarine

Trevor Wharton celebrated his 51st birthday with a 15-overs three-team softball cricket competition in his honor on Friday night under lights at the DCC ground in Queenstown.
Wharton spent most his days as an Umpire and book-scorer (mostly in softball cricket these days) and had his spouse, who prepared a pot of delicious ‘Cook-up’, his two little boys and his Foodlights softball cricket teammates with him to celebrate his landmark.
On the field in the semi-finals, experienced Ricky Deonarine stroked a classy 40 for Floodlights before returning with the ball to capture 4-37 but his wonderful all-round display was not enough to prevent his team from going down by four wickets with 12 balls to spare to Savage Masters.
Deonarine provided excellent support for Khalid Baksh who fashioned an impressive innings before he fell three short of his half century as Floodlights reached 147-7 when their 20 overs expired under a clear night sky.
When Savage Masters began their run chase Walack Joseph hammered a confident 42 and got support from Hurbie Gentle who made 24 and veteran left-hander Wayne Jones was dumped for six to end the match in emphatic fashion for Savage Masters.
In the final, which pitted the winner of the semi-final against Enmore Masters in a game reduced to a 15-over affair due to time constraints, Savage Masters reached 105-6 from 15 overs with Uniss Yosuf leading the way with 21.
Haradeo Jailal wasted little time in dispatching the bowlers to all parts of the field in an aggressive 43, while Nigel Bissu was equally dismissive in his 37 to entertain a fair size gathering which included for West Indies batsman Travis Dowlin and rejected West Indies t20 all-rounder Chris Barnwell.
Floodlights next big venture is planning their tour to Canada which could see an ‘A’ and ‘B’ team making the trip to North America. (Sean Devers)
