Albion face Rose Hall Town Bakewell

It seems almost like destiny, but all cricket finals in Berbice seem to be an epic battle between arch rivals Albion Cricket Club and Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club.
This rivalry is set to continue on Saturday (tomorrow) at the Area ‘H’ Ground when Albion and RHT Bakewell clash in the final of the 2011 New Building Society / Berbice Cricket Board organized 2nd division 40-overs tournament.
Rose Hall Town Bakewell, led by veteran all-rounder Ravi Narine has played unbeaten in the tournament and their batting will be centered on Narine, Eon Hooper, Jason Sinclair, Devin Baldeo, Michael Hicks, James Fraser, Shalendra Shameer, Arif Chan and Nicholas Cameron.
West Indies female left arm pacer Erva Giddings will lead the attack with support from medium pacers Jamal Jarvis, Ingram Dey, spinners Eon Hooper, Shameer, Chan, Baldeo and skipper Narine on a pitch which is expected to turn a lot.
Even though Albion did not submit their squad despite many requests by the BCB they are expected to field a young but talented side.
At the helm will be national Under-19 left arm spinner Gudakesh Moti-Kanhai, former national Under-19 opener Kandasammy Surujnarine, Balchan Baldeo, Verapen Permaul and Sharaz Ramcharran.
Satesh Dwarka will be the only medium pacer and their spin based attack will depend heavily Moti-Kanhai, Permaul, David Latchaya, Ramcharran and Avinash Wazid.
The match starts at 11:00hrs and officials of the New Building Society and BCB will be on hand to meet the teams before bowl off.
The winning team will receive $50,000, runner-up $25,000 while the man-of-the-match will pocket $5,000 and a trophy. Prizes will also be given for preliminary matches.
