FORMER West Indies opening batsman Sewnarine Chattergoon produced an outstanding performance with the bat for Albion Community Centre which provided the backbone of their victory over Memorex Bermine to see them through to the final of the 2011 Tenelec Inc. first division limited overs competition in Berbice.

In the semi-final, played at the Albion ground, Memorex Bermine won the toss and asked Albion to take first strike.
Chattergoon and former national Under-19 batsman Kandasammy Surujnarine (16) started things for the home team, before national off-spinner Steven Latcha induced Surujnarine to hit a delivery back to him, which he accepted gleefully to separate the openers.
With Latcha tightening up his end, a few overs later, national Under-19 fast bowler, Romario Shepherd-DeJonge had Veerapen Permaul caught for 3 at 38 for 2.
National t20 batsman Jonathan Foo joined Chattergoon and they added 42 for the third wicket against some tight bowing from Latcha and left-arm orthodox spinner Eugene La Fleur who sent back Foo for 20, to leave Albion on 80 for 3.
Chattergoon continued to prop up the innings, putting on 28 for the fourth wicket with current West Indies A team skipper, Veerasammy Permaul (11) and 40 for the fifth wicket with West Indies leg-spinner, Devendra Bishoo (13).
With Shepherd-DeJonge snapping up Andy Mohan (2) and Satesh Dwarka (0) in consecutive balls, Albion slumped to 161 for 7 in the 45th over with Chattergoon still there on 95.
He was joined by David Latchaya, and they added a valuable 36 runs with Chattergoon, who was dominating the partnership, attaining his century to see Albion to their eventual total of 197 for 7 from their 50 overs.
Shepherd-DeJonge, ended with 3 for 41 from 9 overs bowling for Memorex Bermine who must have fancied their chances.
However, they were confronted with the off-spin of, Veerapen Permaul, in the second over and lost two key batsmen in Keion De Jesus and Eugene La Fleur, with just 1 run on the board.
Tregon Henry and former national Under-19 batsman, Anthony D’Andrade repaired the damage with a 47-run third-wicket partnership, before Henry fell stumped off Veerasammy Permaul for 20.
D’Andrade, who was going well, fell shortly after, caught off Bishoo, playing an injudicious shot for 31 and with Berbice Under-17 batsman, Hakeem Hinds outfoxed by Guyana Under-19 left-arm spinner, Gudakesh Motie for 4, Bermine slipped to 64 for 5.
Berbice batsman, Devon Clements, was joined by former Berbice Under-19 cricketer, Ishwar Singh, and together they gave Bermine some hope, adding 41 for the sixth wicket, before Clements was caught off Motie for 26 and 17 runs later Singh was stumped off Motie for 30 at 122 for 7.
With Veerasammy Permaul coming back and cleaning up the tail, Memorex Bermine fell for 142 in 46.5 overs, giving Albion a comfortable 55-run victory.
