The victorious Fishermen XI with their spoils at the Everest Cricket Club ground last Sunday.

For the second consecutive week, Fishermen Masters beat Regal Masters in the final of a softball competition. Last Sunday at the Everest Cricket Club, Fishermen beat Regal Masters by the wide margin of 90 runs in the final of a four-team softball extravaganza that was organised by the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc. and sponsored by The Trophy Stall of Bourda Market.
Fishermen had first strike and clobbered their way to 220 for 3 off of their 20 overs with Man-of-the-Match, Robert Mohan blasting 116 not out (6×4 12×6). He got useful support from Unis Yusuf with 41 (6×4 2×6).
The Regal Masters bowlers were roughed up but Parsram ‘Pacer’ Persaud picked up 2-47 while David Harper bowled very quickly but finished wicketless but conceded just 15 runs from his four overs.
In reply, the more fancied Regal Masters lost wickets at regular intervals and were eventually bowled out for 130 in 16.1 overs, falling short by 90 runs. The hard hitting, Rudolph Baker top scored with 25 (4×6) but was not given the support at the other end as the required run rate kept climbing with the fall of every wicket.
Parsram Persaud came back with the bat to hit 24 (2×4 1×6) while Pooran Singh was the pick of the Fishermen Masters bowlers with 3-39 and Ramo Malone 2-16. Just a week earlier, Fishermen had defeated Regal Masters by 12 runs at the Malteenoes Sports Club ground to win another four-team competition that was also organised by the same organistion, Unis Yusuf led the way with a century and three-wicket haul.
