Zorg SC take U-19 honours
Middle order batsmen Rocky Parashutam and Vikash Persaud slammed contrasting half centuries as the two innings one day U-17 cricket match between Alfred Maycock XI and South Essequibo XI, which was organised by the South Essequibo Cricket Development Committee, ended in a tame draw recently at the Zorg cricket ground on the Essequibo Coast.
Maycock XI won the toss and elected to bat first on a track with preparation moisture and managed 139-9 off their allocation of 20 overs. Parashutam was their leading run getter with 66 (7X4) as Randy Rooplall, Shane Wong and Christopher Latchman captured two wickets each for South XI, who responded with 142-7 off their 20 overs. David Williams and Insaaf Latchman scored 31 and 23 respectively as Vikash Persaud picked up 3-21.
Maycock XI, in their second turn at the crease, declared on 128-5 off 23 overs. Vikash Persaud led the scoring with 56 (5×6), while Parashutam supported with 36 (3×4,2×6). Randy Rooplall took 3-11 to end with match figures of 5-25.
Needing to score 126 for victory with 45 minutes of play remaining in the final session, South XI finished on 64-6 in 16 overs when the umpires called off play due to bad light. Isaiah Latchman made 37, while Norman Singh was unbeaten on 15. Vikash Persaud claimed 2-13 and Rocky Parashutam grabbed 2-30 for Maycock XI.
Meanwhile, former president of Bartica Cricket Committee, Edward Skeete, presented one bat each to Orlando Jailall and David Williams for being the leading U-15 and U-17 batsman respectively at the coaching clinic which started recently in the area.
Meanwhile, in a U-19 40-over match, which was organised on Sunday last at the said venue, Zorg Sports Club got the better of South XI by 2 wickets. South scored 138 all out in 32 overs after taking first strike. Javid Azeez stroked 47 and got support from Navindra Sarabjeet 23. Elvin Narine was the leading bowler for Zorg with 4-11, while Shivnarine Narine had 3-19. Zorg then responded with 140-8 in 30 overs. Raul Rooplall finished unbeaten on 38 and Ravindra Singh chipped in with an attacking 28. Azeez showed his all-round ability by taking 4-23.
Coach Forbes Daniels thanked the business community for their support and said the games were organised as part of the cricket development programme in the area. (Zaheer Mohamed)
