Tomorrow at the historic GCC ground Bourda, the top two Under-19 teams in the City will clash for the inaugural Ramchand Auto Spares, Survival Group of Companies and Trophy Stall 50 overs cricket title.

Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) will have the home advantage of what is anticipated to be good batting conditions and a fast outfield when they face off with a strong 4R-Lions line-up from 9:15hrs.

On the road to tomorrow’s grand finale, at a venue which produced West Indies first-ever Test win in 1930, 4R Lions, strengthened by several Berbicans, devoured Bel Air Rubis while GCC beat Transport in the semi-finals.

GCC will be led by National U-19 player Zachary Jodha while 4R Lions will be captained by the tournament’s leading run scorer, Romeo Deonarain. Senior Inter county batter, Berbice’s left-hander Rampertab Ramnauth, will spearhead 4R Lions’ batting along with the talented Deonarain who has 347 runs including a blazing 218 while Rashad Gaffur is third (behind Alvin Mohabir’s 303 runs) with 219 runs including a highest of 170. Gaffur, Sachin Balgobin, Rampersaud Ramnauth and Adrian Hetmyer, the son of Berbice Wicket-Keeper/batter Seon Hetmyer and Nephew of West Indies batter Shimron Hetymer, are all expected to contribute with the bat for 4R
Lions.

4R Lions will be without their strike bowler, West Indies U-19 pacer, Isaiah Throne, who was selected for CCC in the Regional Super50 and leaves for Barbados today while their other pacer, Bruce Vincent, is unavailable due to injury.

GCC will bank on Jodah (son of former Guyana U-19 left-
hander Richard Jodha), West Indies U-19 player Mavindra
Dindyal, Aryan Persaud and Shaahid Viera with the bat.
Spinners Krsna Singh, who took the only hat-trick in the
tournament and Persaud, who had 7-10 in the preliminary
rounds, could fancy their chances against the much-vaunted
4R Lions batting line-up in a tournament which has been
dominated by the spinners.

Bowling all-rounder Thaddeus Lovell will lead the pace attack
for the Bourda boys.

The Champions will collect a Trophy and Cash with the runner-up receiving a Trophy and Cash while those who performed well in the preliminary rounds will be awarded, as well as for performances in the Final.

The Man of the Series of the competition, involving 12 Clubs participating in two zones, will get a trip for two to the majestic Kaieteur Falls compliments of Survival Travel Agency.
The 4R-Lions Squad read: Romeo Deonarain (Captain), Rampertab Ramnauth, Rampersaud Ramnauth, Rashad Gaffur, Sachin Balgobin, Ronaldo Scouten, Salim Khan, Adrian Hetmyer, Natron Gill, Gavin Kisten, Vickash Wilkinson and
Munish Outar. GCC is expected to release their squad this afternoon.
