FORMER Guyana U-19 captain, Travis Persaud, has returned to form with back-to-back centuries for the McGill Super Star Sports Club in the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) Beacon Café 50-over competition.

In their latest clash on Sunday at the Zeeburg Sports Club ground, the home team registered a 187-run victory against La Grange All Stars with their skipper excelling with bat and ball.

La Grange All Stars won the toss and opted to field, but their bowling attack was unravelled by Persaud, who struck 12 fours and five sixes in an even hundred to help his side to a staggering score of 319-8 in 40 overs.

In a match against Windsor Forest Sports Club last Sunday, Persaud had also scored an even hundred.

For the second wicket in their latest clash, Persaud and another former U-19 cricketer, Kheshram Seyhodan, batted the All Stars out of the game with a 151-run partnership.  Seyhodan, who carved out 68, laced the boundary 11 times.

Travis and his younger brother, Troy Persaud 19 (2x4s, 1×6) had added 51 runs for the first wicket.

Also contributing to the total was Sudesh Persaud, who struck 44 (2x4s, 2x6s) and Mahadeo Ramotar, who finished with an unbeaten 23.

Bowling for La Grange, left-arm medium pacer, Greg Singh, took 3-31 from eight overs and Paul Shivram 2-36 from five overs.

In the middle, the visitors struggled to get the ball away and in the process, four of them fell to the off-spin bowling of Travis Persaud.  The 21-year-old finished with figures of 4-25 from eight overs, while left-arm fast bowler, Daniel Basdeo, supported with 2-32 (seven overs). Abdul Razack, Seyhodan and Sudesh Persaud finished with one wicket apiece.

Kalfani Adams led La Grange with 34 (3x4s, 2x6s), while Naresh Ramcharran added 21 (2x6s) and Singh 13 (2x4s).
