–Leads Rose Hall Arborsmart to whopping 471-run victory

ADRIAN Hetmyer is the new record holder in Berbice U-15 limited-overs cricket after slamming his second double-century this month for club team, Rose Hall Canje Arborsmart.

In the latest round of the Dr. Dukhi U-15 tournament, the 14-year-old exploded with the willow as he stamped his authority on Tucber B. He scored 277 runs, surpassing the 265 made by current National U-19 batsman Rampertab Ramnauth in 2020.

This is also the first time that Rose Hall Canje has scored over 500 runs in a 50-over game.

The Arborsmart decimated the Tucber B team’s bowling attack, with Heymyer, the nephew of West Indies cricketer Shimron Hetmyer and the son of former Guyana U-19 cricketer Seon Hetmyer, leading the charge when they competed in Canje yesterday.

He scored a whopping 41 fours and four sixes, after opening the batting with Richard Ramdeholl, who supported with an impressive 127 (10x4s and 1×6).

After a commanding opening-wicket partnership, the Berbice Educational Institute student looked set to reach 300, but he attempted a cover drive, and was caught at point.

In an invited comment, the youngster said that he was focused on “spending long at the crease, and putting the ball away”.

Prior to his record-breaking innings, Hetmyer had scored 168 against Tucber A, and 260 against Betsy Ground.

In the latest game, his team raced to 530-2 after Lakeram Singh (4x6s, 6×1) and Michael Newland (4x2s, 6x3s) supported with 51 and 34 runs, respectively.

In reply, Tucber B were outdone by the off-spin bowling of Ramdeholl and Newland.

Ramdeholl picked up 4-11, and Newland 3-5. Support came from medium pacer Ahil Hemraj, who took 2-18.

Tucber B’s top score was Zempton Felix with five.
