MALTEENOES Sports Club (MSC) continued their dominance in the 2009 Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)-organised Neal and Massy nationwide limited overs tournament, when they steamrolled Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) at the Everest Cricket Club ground yesterday.

Winning the toss and opting to take first strike, DCC found the bowling of MSC’s spin trio, Orin Forde (2-12), Steven Jacobs (2-16) and Dion Ferrier who took 2-30, too hot to handle and folded for a meagre 85 from 30.2 overs, of which discarded national wicketkeeper Derwin Christian made 25 and Christopher Barnwell 18.

When MSC began their reply, Shemroy Barrington struck off-spinner Kevin George back over his head twice off successive balls for six during his top score of 29 and along with Lennox Cush’s unbeaten 26 which included three fours and Jacobs’ 14 not out (2×4), they reached 86-3 from 17.5 overs.

Barnwell fought gallantly to put his team in contention when he took all three wickets to fall for 18 runs from 5.3 overs, but the total was too small to defend against a batting lineup who are on song during this tournament so far, even though they fell for 116 against GNIC in their match played last Saturday.
