OPENER Uniss Yusuf followed up his unbeaten 94 in his first game versus Friendship Masters two Saturdays ago with a pulsating 104 not out versus Seatown Sports Club when the Ontario Masters Softball Cricket Clubs (OMSCC) Over-50 tournament continued last Saturday at the St Bede ground, Ontario, Canada.

The diminutive Yusuf, who specialises in mastering both reverse and conventional sweeps, blasted seven fours and eight sixes off 55 balls while, Troy Gobin, a former Guyana Under-19 player joined in the fun with a delightful 94 as GTA Storm reached a formidable 254 for two in their allotted 20 overs after winning the toss and electing to bat first in sunny conditions.

Opponents Seatown Sports Club could only manage 112 all out in 16.3 overs, losing by a massive 142 runs.
Yusuf and Gobin, who clobbered four fours and eleven massive sixes off a mere 47 balls, added 160 for the first wicket in 12.3 overs before the latter, who was set to complete a well-deserved century, went via the run out route through a direct throw from Laikram Mohabir.

Ian Baldeo joined the fray with a quick-fire 38 off 20 balls, decorated with two fours and four sixes, adding a further 88 for the second wicket with Yusuf who reached his hundred in the final over.
Apart from skipper Ramdath Bora Gangadin, who hit a spirited 38 (one four and two sixes), Seatown Sports Club was never up to the challenge, losing wickets at regular intervals, succumbing easily to the GTA Storm bowling attack. Gavin Glasgow took two for 15, Rudy Bhopaul two for 26 and Nirad Lall two for 18.
GTA Storm will take on Remax All Stars in their next fixture this Saturday at the Ashtonbee Reservoir.
