The Doctors dominate Superstars to emerge UGMSA cricket champions

The University of Guyana Medical Students Association (UGMSA) recently held their Annual Fun Day on December 17, 2021, and students from UGSOM, ‘The Med School Superstars’, participated in two cricket matches in which they clashed with ‘The Doctors’ and visiting students from the Texila American University (T.A.U.)

In match #1, the students from T.A.U. emerged victorious against The Med School Superstars. Batting first, The Med School Superstars posted 52-5 in their allotted six overs. In reply, Texila American University made 59-0 in 5.2 overs.
Tharun Kumar (T.A.U) was awarded the man-of-the-match for his outstanding batting performance of 27 runs not out, while Navindra Persaud was the lead run-getter for the M.S.S with 25 runs.
Unfortunately, the bad luck of the Med School Superstars continued into match #2, wherein The Doctors emerged victorious. The Doctors posted a whopping 163-6 in their 12 overs, while the Med School Superstars could only afford 139-8 in their 12 overs.
Once again, Tharun Kumar (The Doctors) was awarded the man-of-the-match for his outstanding batting performance of 54 runs. he was supported by Ejaz Hattim with 45(28) and Clayton Naiker with 36(11).
Bowling for Superstars, Kurt Booker took 3-23 and Navindra Persaud took 1-22. Navindra Persaud was the lead run-getter for the M.S.S with 41 runs. Also chipping in in a losing effort was Ravindran Singh with 39(24).
Although UGSOM failed to secure a win, the energy and atmosphere of the fun day was definitely needed after a tough first half of the semester. In a statement on their social media page, the UGMSA said special thanks go out to our cricketers and their crowd of supporters. This was one of largest fun days, with the greatest turnout since 2017. We look forward to seeing even more students present at our next fun day. Next year will certainly be our year, our year to win it all!
