Fudadin’s innings guided RHTWSB to a fairly challenging total of 224-7 from their 40 overs, but  Permaul better known for his leg spin bowling and asked to once again bat at number three after his success in the Tenelec Inc. final last week Sunday, struck two fours and three sixes to guide Albion to a five wicket victory.

Permaul received support from Guyana and West Indies opener Sewnarine Chattergoon (31) with whom he added 47 for the second wicket, before he featured in an 111 run third wicket partnership with national Under-19 allrounder Jonathan Foo who made 56 (1×4; 1×6).

Former Guyana Under-19 batsman Anthony De Andrade hit an unbeaten 58 off 48 balls with seven fours, his second consecutive half century for Bermine, to steer them to an easy eight wicket win over Police.

The best bowling of the day was produced by Scottsburg United off spinner Mark Lionel whose 4-20 from eight overs helped his team defeat Upper Corentyne.

Former Berbice all-rounder, left arm spinner Anil Beharry’s 4-32 from seven overs, greatly assisted Young Warriors to bowl out Rose Hall Community Centre for 128 of which Khemraj Sumair top scored with a quick fire 28 balls 50 which included 2 fours and 6 sixes. Warriors went on to win by 5 wickets.

Another futile half century was made by Blairmont Community Centre’s Karamdat Bissoondial who scored 54 (3×4; 1×6) in their loss to West Berbice.
