Bush Lot Sports Club eyeing championship glory at AJM T20
The Bush Lot Sports Club will be aiming to go all the way towards championship glory at tomorrow’s AJM Mash It Up T20 tournament, to be played at the Bush Lot Sports Complex Ground in West Berbice.
The home team is eagerly anticipating the cricket extravaganza, which has more than one million dollars in cash and prizes up for grabs. In the last AJM tournament, Bush Lot won five of its six games.
In a statement issued by the club, it has been highlighted that there are new additions to the batting line-up.
“We are very optimistic of this Mash one-day extravaganza. We have some new additions to our batting line up who recently joined our club, so would provide those extra boots in our batting. We are looking to win this time around.
“The last second division AJM tournament was obviously great. First of its kind in the history of local club cricket, where the sponsor invested a lot. Players got the chance to play in front of decent crowds, and to play against different teams, since it was a round-robin set up.”
The home team added: “the semi-finals and final (drew) good crowds from Bush Lot and supporters from the other teams; it was a party-like atmosphere. We are looking to maximize the powerplay with the bat, and with the depth in our line-up, we are surely going to be putting up a show. We just want to keep it simple, and execute our plans.”
In the last edition of this tournament, veteran cricketer Raj Bance scored three half-centuries, while Suresh Dhanai amassed over 200 runs and claimed 18 wickets.
Justin Doobay, an under-17 left arm spinner, also bowled well, limiting batsmen.
Four teams in the West Berbice area will be on show at the AJM Mash It Up T20 tournament on February 24; they are: AJM defending T20 champions Cotton Tree Sports Club; D’Edward Sports Club; Achievers ‘A’, and Bush Lot Sports Club.
The day’s activities will commence at 09:00hrs, and the final will be played under lights. There will be big screen, commentary, and live scores at the venue, with Crown Vibes International providing sounds.
This tournament would quite replicate a CPL atmosphere, the organizers have promised. Cheerleaders will be on show, in addition to other side attractions.
