Rose Hall Canje and Young Warriors advance to final

BCB/Magic Moments 20/20 Tournament…

Rose Hall Canje Cricket Club and Young Warriors Cricket Club have both advanced to the final of the Berbice Cricket Board-organised Magic Moments 20/20 Tournament for teams in the New Amsterdam/Canje sub-zones.
In so doing, Rose Hall Canje Cricket Club defeated Police, while Young Warriors Cricket Club got past Betsy Ground in the semis at the recently refurbished Rose Hall Canje Welfare Centre.
Police, batting first, reached 104 all out in 18 overs, with opener Brentnol Woolford and Kwesi Mickle being the principal scorers; while Rose Hall Canje’s medium pacer Compton Hope claimed 3 wickets for 18 runs from four impressive overs. Veteran Balram Samaroo continued his recent impressive form with a composed 44, to support a blistering 54 not out from Sasenarine Sukhu, as Rose Hall Canje romped to an easy eight-wicket victory when the home team ended their innings

on 108 from 18.2 overs. Sukhu struck six massive sixes, as only left-arm spinner Kwesi Mickle bowled well for Police, to end with 2-8 from four overs.
In the other match, Young Warriors Cricket Club reached 143 for 5 from their allotted twenty overs, as Kassim Khan, 40; Alex Algoo, 37; and Trevon Stanislaus, 24, were the backbone of the innings.
In response, Betsy Ground were bowled out for 105 in 17.1 overs. A. Subhai offered resistance with a stubborn 40, but the attack led by off-spinner Richardo Ramdihal (5-16) proved too tough. The final is scheduled to be played on Sunday, September 16, at the same venue. It will be the second of four finals to be played under the Magic Moments brand. No. 48 Challengers have already won the Upper Corentyne League, while the final for Lower Corentyne and West Berbice will be contested soon.
