NBS 40-over cricket competition.. Corriverton and D’Edward clash in final tomorrow

THE 2014 New Building Society (NBS) second division 40-over cricket competition, after months of intense battle involving nearly one hundred teams from across the length and breadth of Berbice has now reached its climax with the final between Corriverton and D’Edward scheduled for tomorrow at the No. 69 Vikings Ground on the Upper Corentyne.With both teams playing unbeaten so far in the competition, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will emerge as this year’s champions. D’Edward possess a formidable batting line up including four hard hitting batsmen in former Berbice all-rounder Eon Abel, Heeralall Bridgelall, Lakeraj Sookra and Jaipaul Heeralall who Corriverton will have to rein in early.

They will be backed up by former Berbice Under-19 all-rounder Kevon Jawahir, Devendra Lalsa and Mahadeo Persaud.
Their two opening medium pacers Christian France and Navin Rampersaud have proven to be very difficult to score off and at the same time, wicket takers. Also crucial are right arm leg spinner Kevon Jawahir, off spinners Abel and Sookra. Devendra Singh and Bridgelall will lend support with their medium pacers.
The Corriverton batting will be spearheaded by opening batsman Jeremy Moore who recently scored a match winning 98 against Cotton Tree Die Hard in their semi-final as well as Claven Beresford, Anthony Seeraj, Errol Byass, Jermaine Reid and Imran Jabbar.
Their opening pacers Jermaine Reid and Victor Pedro have been consistently lethal in this competition but it was the off spin of Eric Phillips that destroyed many teams so far. Backing up would be left arm spinner Farad Bacchus and medium pacers Beresford, Byass and Amzad Allplesammy.
Representatives from the New Building Society Limited will be there to meet the players and officials before the game.
The umpires nominated are Augustus Outar and Moses Ramphal with Oomadat Samaroo as the standby.
The match is scheduled to start at 11:00 hrs.
