A fine all-round display from 12-year-old Romeo Deonarain helped the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) to crush Transport Sports Club (TSC) by five wickets in a feature Under-15,  30-over game played under lights last Friday at the home of legends– DCC, Queenstown. 

 TSC won the toss and chose to bat first in lovely condition for cricket.  R Latif and A Mohabir opened the batting for the visitors and put on a partnership of 26 before Mohabir went for seven. Deonarain was then introduced into the attack and spun webs around the TSC batsmen with only Latif offering any resistance with a fighting 29.

TSC eventually made 82 all out in the final over. Deonarain finished with 4-10 off five overs. He got support from K. Caesar and S. Walters with two wickets apiece.

In reply, DCC lost three quick wickets before Deonarine and national junior table tennis star, Jonathan Van Lange, took their team close to victory with good batting and sensible running between the wickets.

Van Lange eventually went for 21. In came the aggressive J. Camphell who scored a rapid 18. Deonarain retired for a solid 17.

Representatives from both teams thanked the organisers, DCC and GFSCA, for the opportunity for the players as they prepare for the Inter County Under-15 tournament which is to be contested shortly.
