Floodlights Under-15 to tackle DCC in 30-over game this Friday

…hosted in honour of Coach Huburn Evans

Losing finalists in the recently-concluded Youth US Open Cricket Tournament played in Florida and organised by Cricket Council USA, Floodlights Under-15 will take on the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) Under-15 team in a feature 30-over game from 16:30h on Friday, January 31 at the DCC Ground.

The match, which will be contested under lights, is in honour of Huburn Evans, the Coach of the Floodlights Under-15 team that toured Florida. Evans, a former national senior cricketer and former national youth coach, is currently visiting these shores and the Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) saw fit to recognise his work with the kids on tour. He had as support former West Indies Captain, the prolific Ramnaresh Sarwan, who was the team manager. The Floodlights Under-15 are the first team from Guyana that ever participated in that tournament.

Friday evening’s contest promises to be a cracker with two evenly balanced teams. The Floodlights Under-15 will be led by all-rounder Alvin Mohabir and will include the classy West Indies Under-15 player Mavendra Dindial, national Under-15 all-rounder Zachary Jodah, the consistent Dave Mohabir and new find Joash Persaud. National Under-15 player Jonathan Van Lange, Demerara Under-15 all-rounder Romeo Deonarain and Premkumar Permaul will turn up for their team, DCC. The DCC line-up also includes national Under-15 player Jaden Campbell, Shaquan Walters, Wavel Allen, and Nick Raghunauth.
