Avishkar Sewkarran became the latest centurion when play in the 2011 New Building Society (NBS) sponsored second division 40 over cricket competition continued recently in the Ancient County.
Sewkarran belted a match-winning 101 not out for Bath of West Berbice who were set a challenging 204 to win off 35 overs by Cotton Tree Die Hard. Spearheaded by 61, inclusive of 3 fours and 3 sixes, from Tage Singh, Sewkarran opened the innings for Bath and he and Naresh Ramnauth, 22, put on an opening stand of 34.
He was next joined by Sean Kadim and together they produced a second wicket partnership of 160 after which Kadim fell for 51 inclusive of 10 fours at 194 for 2, Sewkarran four short of his century.
Sewkarran went on to achieve his hundred ending on 101* (11×4 4×6) in the process he guided Bath to 204 for 2 in 28 overs.
In a rain-affected match, D’Edward rattled up 171 against Shieldstown, thanks mainly to former Berbice all-rounder Eon Abel, who slammed a 25-ball 82 (10×4 4×6). Abel came back with his offspiners to take 3 for 19 and together with legspinner Derick Lalsa-Narine Jnr, who took 3 for 8, restricted Shieldstown to 92 in 9 in their 20 overs.
Andrew Dennis notched up 60 (3×4 2×6) to lead Achievers to 211 for 4 in 30 overs against Hopetown United. Hopetown in reply were bowled out for 117 mainly due to the exploits of offspinner Dennis Webster (5 for 13) and legspinner Dennis (2 for 9).
After Seawell had scored 201 for 4 in 30 overs, their opening pacers, brothers Petam and Dhanesh snapped up 4 wickets each to bowl out East Canje for a meagre 50.
Other bowlers with 5 wicket hauls in the latest round were Derick Cedgan of Glasgow New Scheme, Shabir Khan of No.70 MYO and Quacy DeVelde of Flying Star.
