Dave Mohabir’s six-wicket match haul and Lomar Seecharran’s unbeaten 49 guided their team to a seven-wicket victory over the Richard Ramdehol X1 in the final National U-17 Trial game yesterday at the LBI ground.

This game was used to select Guyana’s squad that will travel to Trinidad and Tobago for the Regional U-17 tournament, which will take place from August 11 to September 1.
The Squad was selected yesterday and will go into camp shortly.

Scores: Ramdehol’s X1 (107 &165) Mohabir’s X1 (174 & 103)

Ramdehol’s X1 began the second and final day with a deficit of 67 runs and quickly lost Thierry Henry for a duck at 5-1 as Darwin Joseph made the breakthrough.
Adrian Hetmyer, the son of former Guyana and Berbice U-19 batter Seon Hetmyer and nephew of Shimron Hetmyer, suffered his second failure when he trapped lbw to Shane Prince for five at 10-2.
Jonathan Mentore and Skipper Richard Ramdehol joined forces and staged a recovery by taking the score to 49.

The lively Prince struck again when he uprooted Mentore’s stumps. Mentore, son of former Guyana U-19 Opener Alfred Mentore, hit two boundaries in 17.
Prince bowled Elisha Ramdat for a first-ball duck before Ramdehol, who made 28 with three boundaries, was caught behind as Prince continued to impress as two wickets fell with the score on 52.

Danesh Persaud hit a positive 42, which included five fours before he was bowled by Dave Mohabir.
Ravesh Singh (16), Gavin Kirsten (14), Eron Benjamin (13) and Navindra Sankar (11*) were the other batters who got double figures.
Prince had 4-27, Mohabir took 3-23 and Jathniel Nurse got 2- 27.

Needing 99 runs to win, Lomar Seecharran and Vishal Williams produced a solid 72-run foundation.
Williams made 35 from 53 balls with five fours before he was dismissed by Gavin Kirstin, before Nurse (1) was removed by Ramdehol as two wickets fell in the space of a run.
The left-handed Seecharran, playing an ultra-cautious innings, was joined by Emmanuel Lewis (9), who fell with victory 10 runs away.

With the score on 97 and Seecharran struggling to get the ball away, he ended the match with an out-of-character six to bring up the 100 to finish unbeaten on 49.
