Meten-Meer-Zorg Warriors beat Zeeburg Sports Club
Meten-Meer-Zorg Warriors crushed Zeeburg Sports Club by eight wickets at Zeeburg to take the Odyssey Tours 50-over trophy.
The one-sided final was marred by an incident involving Zeeburg’s and Senior Essequibo Inter-County all-rounder, Malcom Hubbard.
Hubbard, who, with nine runs to win, chose to bowl ‘under arm’ –an illegal delivery — much to the disappointment of fans in the stands.

Winning the toss, The Warriors asked the host to bat and skittled them out for a paltry 88 in just 21 overs before galloping to victory in 16.1 overs, scoring 90-2.
Mark Jeffers and Vishal Persaud put on 19 for the first wicket before the tournament’s leading wicket-taker and captain, Anil Sookdeo, bowled Persaud (1).
Zeeburg never recovered as they struggled to reach a hundred; eventually falling 12 short of a three-figure total.

Zeeburg started the game with 10 players and Jeffers’ 18 was the top score while only Jamal Gomes 16 and George Jeffers 13 reached double figures
Damuka Junior, bowling with good pace and control, grabbed 3-28 from seven overs with support from off-spinner, Ameer Mohamed (3-31) and Jermaine Scott 2-21.
Adrian Hinds, who struck four boundaries in his unfinished 26, and Jamal Hinds who made 20 not out, saw Warriors home with an unbroken 45-run stand.
The Warriors collected a Cheque worth $ 200,000 while Zeeburg took home $50,000
