ON Sunday last, on a day blessed with glorious sunshine, at the Dagg Point Cricket ground in Bartica, in Essequibo, the largest turnout for a Bartica T20 round-robin Tournament watched, as a well-compiled 69 from Renaldo Jeffrey spearheaded Bartica Super Stickers defeat of A & l Trendsetters by seven runs in the Bartica T20 round-robin tournament.

The 18-year-old Jeffrey followed up his unbeaten 168 against Bartica ‘under Digges’ with a well-compiled 69 to spearhead Bartica Super Stickers 172 all out.
However, Ricardo Williams scored 46 and Garfield Phillips made 24 in an innings that included four ducks as no other batter passed eight.

Messiah Joseph took 2-31, Andrew Simmons 2-35, Inzamam Bacchus 2-46 and Orrin Gibson captured 2-18. All bowled well despite the classy shots from Jeffery who took his runs tally to 237 runs from two matches.
Jeffery who hit six fours and five sixes and Williams, who reached the boundary six times and cleared it on three occasions, featured in a 108-run partnership for Trendsetters who were bowled out 165. Andy Brumell with 36 and George Macintyre with 27 offered token resentence.
Ashberk Hohenkirk captured 3-23 and got support from Keanu Harry, Shane Williams and Joshua Allen who had two each.

The tournament, the first in a decade in the Town of Bartica, will continue on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Mashramani day) at the same venue. (Sean Devers)
