Newland spurs Rose Hall Canje Under-17s to victory

Michael Newland Jr, the son of Deputy Police Superintendent Michael Newland, claimed five wickets to lead Rose Hall Canje to a thrilling six-run win against Tucber Park in the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) Under-17 tournament.
Newland Jr, who is hoping to follow in the footsteps of his father, had figures of 5-21 from 10 overs to help bowl out Tucber Park for 159 all out in 34.3 overs at the Rose Hall Canje Community Centre Ground.

Earlier, Rose Hall Canje batted first and posted 165-9 from their allotted 50 overs. Lakeram Singh top-scored with an even 40 while Jaden Edwards made 34. National youth player Richard Ramdeholl chipped in with 31.
Jayden Rohler had 3-17 for Tucber Park. In reply, only Antonio DePaul and Kurt Michael stood tall for Tucber Park. DePaul made 28 and Michael made 27.
The youngsters from Rose Hall Canje held their nerve, both in the fielding and bowling departments. Led by Newland Jr, Rose Hall Canje ensured Tucber Park fell short by six runs to give the home team an epic win.
In addition to this fixture, the BCB will resume the First-Division two-day tournament next week with the semi-final fixtures. The top four teams are Albion, Young Warriors, Rose Hall Town, and Tucber Park Cricket Club.
Further, the BCB has also announced that the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport will sponsor a 50-over tournament and a three-day round-robin tournament.
This announcement was made last week on the Board’s Facebook page, where it also expressed gratitude to Sport Ministers Charles Ramson Jr and Steven Jacobs.
