Hopetown United through to the Final
Hopetown United have become the first team to reach the final of the inaugural 2012 Hand-in-Hand Second Division 40-Over Cricket Competition which was organised by the Berbice Cricket Board for teams in West Berbice. They achieved this landmark after defeating rainbow Generation of Seafield by 41 runs in their semi-final.
In the match which was played at the Hopetown Ground and which was reduced to 30 Overs-a-side because of the late arrival of the home team, Hopetown United won the toss and chose to bat first. They lost Kelwin Bennet (0) in the first over with only 4 runs on the board after which Derwin Nelson and Steffon Adams put on 27 for the second wicket. After Nelson went for 13 and Ludwick Joseph for 2. Hopetown slipped to 37 for 3 before Adams and Delon Wayne put on 60 for the 4th wicket after which Adams fell for the top score of 33.
Wayne was then joined by Ruel Edwards and together they put on 42 more valuable runs with Wayne eventually falling for 28 and Edwards 25. Claude Saul (31) then held up the lower order enough to see Hopetown United reach a healthy 172 for 9 in their 30-Overs. Bowling for Rainbow Generation, Dunston Cummings took 2 for 19 and Keno Gravesande 2 for 27.
When Rainbow Generation began their run chase, they almost immediately lost Dexter Cummings for 0. Brentnol Woolford (12) and Gravesande (18) then added 26 for the 2nd wicket but with pacer Claude Saul removing both of them, they slipped to 32 for 3.
They never really recovered from this position and even though Dunston Cummings chipped in with 36 and Wayne Fraser 21, Rainbow only managed to reach 131 for 9 in their allotted 30 Overs. Bowling for Hopetown United Claude Saul took 3 for 29, Carwyn Wayne 2 for 14 and Steffon Adams 2 for 15.
