A fine century by Chris Deonarine guided Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO) to first innings points over
Shemroy Barrington
Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) when the first round of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) first division two-day tournament sponsored by Star Party Rentals, Trophy Stall and General Industrial and Supplies Enterprise concluded on Sunday at Everest.
Deonarine stroked 135 as GYO scored 301 all out in reply to MSC first innings 293, after they resumed on their overnight 38 with out lost. Opener Deonarine who began the day on 12, timed the ball well, hitting twelve fours in his innings. He was supported by Garfield De Roche who made 57, Alex Ramalho 25 and debutant teenager Navindra Persaud 24. Kellon Carmichael claimed 3-37, Vishal Narayan 3-38 and Orin Forde 2-44. Trailing by eight, MSC closed on 122-6, a lead of 114, batting a second time. They lost Joseph Cupidore (06), Narayan (06), Carmichael (03), T. Thompson (00) and Forde (14), but Barrington continued his fine form with a splendid 81 to ensure a draw for his team. He slammed nine fours and one six as Trevon France and Mark Hamilton picked up two wickets each. (Zaheer Mohamed)
