The Unity Cup organized by the Guyana Softball League saw the village of success staying on top by having three teams going on to the next round by defeating their neighbouring village in Better hope. The weather only allowed two matches to be completed as another downpour left the ground unplayable.
Part of the action in the tournament
Success Young Guns displaying an abundance of talent defeated Strikers by 63 runs. They firstly chalked up 110 for nine in their 10 overs with Amit Ramnarine 20 (2x6s) and Asif Mohamed 19 (3×4) took them to their eventual score.
Omedat Khemraj was the pick of the bowlers with 2-7 in 2 overs. When Strikers batted the wicket seemed to be different as the Young Guns bowlers were almost unplayable but extras top scored thus saving the embarrassment to the strikers’ team. All the bowlers contributed.
In the other match to be played Enterprise Youths got the better of Better hope by a massive 41 runs. Enterprise batted first and made 110 -3 in 10 overs with Rohan Beepat top scoring with 31 (3×6; 2×4) followed by Gary Andrews with 26 (2x6s; 1x4s).
Better hope in their turn could only muster 69 all out in 8.4 overs with only Raj Rooplall getting into double figures with 16 (2x4s).
Rohan Beepat was the pick of the bowlers claiming 2-5 in 2 overs, supported by Clive Roberts with 2-14 from his two overs.
