Kaieteur Sports- Annandale Secondary School (Girls) and Covent Garden Primary (Boys) are the new Region Four champions of the Janet and Cheddi Jagan Memorial Windball Cricket Competition, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS) in collaboration with the National Sports Commission (NSC). The finals were held recently at the National Gymnasium.

In the girls’ final, Mahadevi Dass delivered a masterclass performance, smashing an unbeaten 71, including seven sixes, to guide Annandale Secondary to a formidable 130 without loss. Dass, a seasoned player who represented Guyana in the West Indies Women’s Windball Tournament last year, shared an unbroken opening stand with Shanya Macey, who contributed a solid 46.
Despite a spirited response, Saann Patterson’s unbeaten 85 could not carry the opposing side over the line, as they finished agonizingly short at 129-1. Dass also impressed with the ball, claiming the lone wicket in a tidy spell that yielded figures of 1-17.

Meanwhile, the boys’ segment was not without drama, following a formal protest against the initial winners, which prompted a replay of the championship match. The rescheduled final saw Covent Garden outclass Annandale Secondary, denying them a tournament sweep with a commanding 51-run victory.
Batting first, Covent Garden posted an imposing 106 without loss. Ataf Rohim stole the spotlight with a fluent 70 that featured nine sixes, while Navin Ram played the perfect supporting role with 34.
In reply, Annandale’s chase faltered under pressure, as they managed only 55-2 when the overs ran out. Kevin Singh and Ranaldo Persaud offered brief resistance, but it wasn’t enough to threaten the target.
The tournament was made possible through the generous sponsorship of the MCYS and the NSC, and was efficiently coordinated by Sports Officer A. Munroe.
