CRICKET-lovers in Georgetown can expect exciting action today at the Demerara and Georgetown cricket club grounds respectively, when the semi-finals of the inaugural Georgetown Cricket Association-organised, New Building Society 40 overs second division competition bowls off at 110:0hrs. The hosts of both encounters will be in action, with DCC taking on Everest, while GCC will look to resist the arrest from Police Sports Club (PSC), in what is expected to be two riveting matches, as they battle for a place in the final which is set to bowl off next weekend at a venue to be named.
At the GCC ground, Nigel Duguid and Delvin Austin will be the main witnesses, as Police who are being led by Fitzroy Culley, with support from Ryan Rajmangal, Troy Benn, Munilall Persaud, Leon Crawford, Orin Heyliger and Jermaine Reynolds, attempt to serve their arrest warrant on the home team and secure a place in the final.
But with players like Robin Bacchus, who has been tasked with the captaincy, Ellon Fernandes, Devon Lord, Alex Ramalho, Martin Pestano-Belle, Winston Forrester and Gavin Charles in their lineup, PSC may find more than one reason to call for support, in their bid to serve the warrant.
At the DCC ground, the home team who are celebrating their 100th Anniversary have had more than one reason to smile this year, having seen their Under-15 team, led by Tevin Imloch, reel in their third consecutive GCA/Brain Street titles.
Added to that, their Under-19 ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams recently contested the GCA/David Persaud Investments Limited Under-19 final, in which the latter, who were led by Kemal Savory, came out victorious. Their silverware cabinet, though bursting at the seams, would surely be enhanced with another trophy.
To this extent, Savory, Dennis Squires, Lyndon Lyght, Dexter George, Andrew Gibson, Orlando Sturge, Omesh Dhanram and Khemraj Rupee will be looking to steer the home team past Everest and at the same time cement a place for them in next week’s final.
But with Khemraj Ramdeen, Sherfane Rutherford, Christopher Surat, Mohan Ramdeen, Javed Rasheed and Andrew Lovell leading the visitors’ charge, Colin Alfred and Zaheer Mohammed will have their work cut out, as they seek to maintain law and order on the field.
