THE Unity Cup organised by the Guyana Softball League saw the village of Success staying on top, having defeated their neighbouring village, Better Hope, recently.

The weather only allowed two matches to be played. The first saw Success Young Guns displaying an abundance of talent to defeat Strikers by 63 runs.

Batting first, Success chalked up 110-9 in their 10 overs with Amit Ramnarine making 20 (2×6) and Asif Mohamed 19 (3×4). Omedat Khemraj was the pick of the bowlers with 2-7
When Strikers batted, the wicket seemed to be different, as the Young Guns bowlers were almost unplayable, with all the bowlers contributing. Strikers were eventually bowled out for just 47.

In the other match to be played, Enterprise Youths got the better of Better Hope by 41 runs.
Enterprise batted first and made 110-3 in 10 overs with Rohan Beepat top scoring with 31 (3×6; 2×4) followed by Gary Andrews with 26 (2×6; 1×4).
Better Hope in their turn could only muster 69 all out in 8.4 overs with only Raj Rooplall getting into double figures with 16 (2×4).

Rohan Beepat was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 2-5 in 2 overs, supported by Clive Roberts with 2-14.
Meanwhile, more areas are expected to get into the action.
