A fine spell of bowling from veteran left arm spinner Rondhall Lewis spearheaded Rose Hall Town Bakewell ‘A’ to a nine-wicket victory over West Berbice in the final of the inaugural Assuria Insurance / Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club 5-over knockout tournament which was contested on Sunday at the Area ‘H’ ground.
Lewis captured three wickets for three runs as West Berbice who drew the bye to the final, were restricted to 49-3 from the allotted overs after they were inserted in front of a large crowd.
Openers Keith Fraser (18) and Andrew Dutchin (21) added 44 in four overs before Lewis who delivered the final over put the brakes on the scoring.
In reply, Vidal Crandon and Khemraj Mahadeo featured in a first wicket stand of 32 to put their team on course before Mahadeo was run out for 16. However, Crandon who remained unbeaten on 26 and Delbert Kicks (06*) saw their team home with five balls to spare, ending on 50-1.
Rose Hall Town Bakewell ‘A’ defeated No. 48 by eleven runs in the lone semifinal. Rose Hall Town scored 52-2 off their allotted overs, batting first.
Mahadeo struck 33 not out (4×4, 2×6). No. 48 responded with 41-3. B. Persaud scored 15; Erva Giddings claimed 2-10.

Keith Fraser (65) was the best batsman while Police opener Philbert Wilburg notched up the highest individual score (36 not out).
No. 48 Cricket Club received $20,000.00 and a trophy for the finishing third, West Berbice took home $30,000.00 and a trophy while Rose Hall Town Bakewell A pocketed $70,000.00 and a trophy.
