Home Sports Ali-Mohamed’s all round performance steers GCC to victory
Noble House Seafood 2nd Division…
Former Windies U-19 all-rounder Ronaldo Ali-Mohamed steered the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) to a landslide victory over the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) by a whopping innings and 177 runs on Sunday at Bourda.
Their two-day Noble House Seafoods second division match wrapped up just after tea on the final day. Batting first, DCC fell to a meagre 91 all out, with Daniel Mootoo (22), Alphius Bookie (17) and Garrick Persaud (17) offering no resistance as Ali-Mohammed bagged 5-24.
GCC then responded with a challenging total of 267-7 declared before Ali-Mohamed played his stroke-filled 105, which included 10 boundaries and 3 sixes. He also had support from left-handed batsman Marlon Persaud, who hit four boundaries in his supporting roll of 56; Khemraj Jaikarran, 39, and Kennard Moonsammy, 28, added useful runs to the tally as Keanu Harry took 2-33.
Having being given a total, DCC were sent in to bat as their second innings progressed, but to no avail, even with resistance from Harry who made 27, 21 from Mootoo and 16 from Bookie.
DCC still fell to 99 all out, with Chetram Persaud taking 3-15, Stephon Wilson 3-30 and Deonarine Seegobin 2-11, thus bowling them to an easy victory.
