Kaieteur Sports – Essequibo Masters beat West Bank Warriors by 14 runs on Sunday at the Everest ground in Georgetown to crown the champions in this year’ Big Man Over-40, 25-overs tournament.
Captain of the team Trevis Simon won the toss and opted to take first strike. They finished at a respectable 232-5 off the 25-overs while West Bank Warriors were left on 214-6 when proceedings closed off.
Opening batsman Vishwanauth Lall, who has been in prolific form, once again made an impression with the bat for the winner with an impressive 82.
The right-handed Lall, who represented Essequibo at the senior Inter-County level, had scores of 103 and 120 in the previous two matches.
On this occasion he struck six sixes and five fours. Useful contributions came from his opening partner Fazeer Khan with 33 while Ravi Beharry and the veteran Ramesh Narine chipped in with 25 and 24 respectively.

Persaud contributed 44 as former Guyana youth player Beesham Seepersaud grabbed 3-29 from his maximum five overs. He got good support from off-spinner Dharmendra Lakhan with 2-37 (5).
Lall was named player-of-the-match for his excellent batting effort. He took home a trophy and $25,000. The winning side carted off $250,000 and a trophy, while West Bank Warriors had to settle with a trophy and $150,000.
Meanwhile, triumphant skipper Simon attributed the success to total team’s effort and hard-work since the commencement of the 14-team, nation-wide tournament in March.
Simon, the all-rounder, mentioned everyone was eager to win the trophy and that collaboration paid off nicely.
He praised the two stalwarts of the game Seeperaud and Narine for their pivotal role throughout the competition.
