JACKLOW Crazy XI were crowned champions of the first-ever Pomeroon U-15 cricket competition after a 64-run victory against home team Macaseema Rising Stars in the championship clash on Sunday in the Upper Pomeroon River. Jacklow, who played the entire competition unbeaten, won the toss and opted to bat first in the T20 affair. Led by Zandon Rose, who belted 62 runs, Kevin Benjamin who added 30 not out and Adiri Browne with 20, the visitors were able to push their score to 166-3. Justin Gorge was the pick of the home team’s bowlers with 2-16 from two overs. In Macaseema’s turn at the crease, they were undone by Rose, who picked up 4-17 from 3.1 overs. Skipper Harold Demottos took 2-14 from two overs, while Zadaine Edwards grabbed 2-21 from four overs to ensure a victory in the 15th over. Renaldo Smith with 25 and Gorge with 16 were the main scorers for the home team, who were bowled out for 102. Rose’s dominance in the match earned him the Man-of-the-Match award, but it was Demattos’ consistency throughout the competition that resulted in his winning the MVP and Best Batsman awards. Renaldo Smith finished as the best bowler and Ronaldo Cassiemero as the best fielder. President of the Pomeroon Cricket Committee, Ernesto Demattos, and his board members ensured that the competition was completed despite several postponements due to heavy rainfall in the region. Four teams competed in the round-robin battle since early last month.
