Guyana Under-17 captain Romario Ramdeholl produced a batting masterclass, smashing an unbeaten 75 to lead Canje Secondary School (CSS) to a resounding nine-wicket victory over the Multi Royals in the final of the New Amsterdam/Canje Republic Bank Inter-Schools Cricket Tournament.
Royals folded for 109 in 25 overs.
Earlier, they were inserted to bat first on a pitch offering early assistance to the bowlers; the Royals endured a shaky start, losing skipper Avishkar Persaud and his deputy Avishkar Beharry in quick succession.
A steadying partnership between Jaden Edwards (20) and Tamesh Deonandan (22) briefly steadied the innings, but once they departed, the collapse continued.
Wickets tumbled at regular intervals, and the Royals were bundled out for 109 in 25 overs.
For CSS, Zaden La Rose was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with three scalps.
In reply, Canje Secondary’s powerful batting unit made light work of the modest target.
Ramdeholl was in a destructive mood, peppering the boundary ropes with seven fours and six towering sixes in his whirlwind of 75 not out. His performance ensured the chase was wrapped up in just 14 overs, with Beharry claiming the lone wicket for the Royals.
With this emphatic win, Canje Secondary now march into the Region Six final, where they will lock horns with Port Mourant Secondary School.
