2014 BCB/Carib Beer T20

Bramble helps Albion finish at top of Corentyne zone
… Ramsammy, Murray hit 50s

THE PRELIMINARY stages of this year’s Berbice Cricket Board/Ansa McAl Carib Beer first division T20 cricket competition concluded last Saturday, with the playing of the final two Corentyne zone matches. In the deciding match, Albion Community Centre made light work of Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets (RHTGG) to emerge as the top team of that zone, with RHTGG finishing as runners-up, while both teams advanced to the

playoff, with Albion hosting their encounter while RHTGG will travel for theirs.
After the Albion spin attack had restricted RHTGG to 109 for 8 off their 20 overs, in-form Anthony Bramble missed his fourth consecutive half-century, but revived Albion from 13 for 2 with his 48, as they won by six wickets.
Playing at the RHTGG Area ‘H’ ground, the home team won the toss and decided to bat first, with only Brandon Prasad’s unbeaten 28 offering resistance to Veerapen Permaul, Balchand Baldeo and Shiraz Ramcharran who took two wickets each for 4, 10 and 26 runs respectively.
In Albion’s reply, Bramble, who shared a third-wicket partnership of 71 with Jonathan Foo (30), did enough to steer his side to 112 for 4 in 14.5 overs, as Keon Sinclair took 2 for 38 to keep RHTGG in the hunt for victory.
Bramble’s innings followed his scores of 54 against Port Mourant, 82 not out against Skeldon Community Centre and 77 not out against GuyTrac Upper Corentyne, for a combined total of 261 runs at an average of 130.5 from his four innings.
At the Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC) ground, the home team who were led by 50 (8×4) from Joshua Ramsammy, and 39 from Lloydel Lewis, managed 145 in 16.5 overs against Skeldon Community Centre, for whom Parmanand Narine took 3 for 37 and Jason Itwaru 2 for 23.
However, despite Sherwin Murray’s four sixes and a similar number of fours in his 59, Skeldon could manage only 133 for 5 from their 20 overs, with Narine’s 20 being the next best score, as PMCC completed the win by 12 runs.
Meanwhile the three playoffs are scheduled for this Saturday at 13:30hrs, with West Berbice meeting Universal Solutions Bermine at Bush Lot, Young Warriors hosting RHTGG at Cumberland and the Albion clashing with D’Edward at Albion.
