The club that has produced the most Test cricketers in Berbice, Port Mourant, scored a massive 225 runs victory over the hapless Edinburgh in their last round match of the Bobby Deonarine and Tom Gruntzel sponsored Tenelec Inc round robin fifty overs first division cricket competition.
The match played at Edinburg ground on the East Bank of Berbice saw Port Mourant winning the toss and elected to take first strike in humid conditions and ended on 315 for the loss of 9 wickets off their allotted reduced quota of 45 overs. They were led to this massive total through
outstanding and consistent batting by former Berbice and Guyana youth player Lloydel Lewis 75, national senior middle order batsman Chanderpaul Hemraj 57, Joshua Ramsammy 51, former national under-19 pacer Dimitri Cameron 33 and Avishkar Sewkarran 24. Bowling for Edinburgh, pacer Joseph Giddings took 4 for 34 and Shafiq Khan 2 for 31.
In reply, the home team was shot out for a disappointing 90 all out. Deonarine Seepersaud offered the only resistance with 19. Young pacer Cameron returned with the ball to take 3 for 14. He was supported by another pacer Manoj Looknauth who took 3 for 28 and A Khan 2 for 28.
Over at Bush Lot on the West Coast of Berbice, Blairmont humbled Bush Lot Rising Star by a huge 185 runs. The visitor won the toss and batted first and scored a substantial 295 for 4 off their reduced 42 overs. They enjoyed a opening partnership of 61 between Berbice youth batsman Javed Karim and Nick Ramsaroop before Karim went caught off Winston Joseph for 37. Mahendra Singh joined Ramsaroop and added a further 92 for the second wicket before Ramsaroop was bowled by national under-15 off spinner Nivendra Prashad for 39. National under-19 all rounder Parmanand Ramdhan joined Singh and together they put together 78 for the third wicket when Ramdhan went for 35. Singh followed for a well played 75. Berbice youth player Zameer Inshan and Nigel Trotz shared an unbroken stand of 64 with Inshan 53 NO and Trotz 39.
In reply, Bush Lot Rising Star scored a disappointing 111 all out in just 18 overs with Glenroy Fraser 51 offering the only resistance. Ramdhan returned with the ball to take 5 for 6 off 4 overs in an unplayable spell of left arm spin bowling. Derek Cadogan supported with 2 wickets.
Despite the wins, both teams failed to qualify for the playoffs.
The final two preliminary matches between West Berbice and Police and Albion Community Center and Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets to determine the winners and runners up of Zone A and Zone C will be played this Saturday October 3rd at the Bush Lot and Port
Mourant ground respectively.
