Home Sports Third Class seeks vital points against GDF
Action in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Tournaments will continue this weekend with one match in the Noble House Seafoods two-day second division and several matches in the New Building Society (NBS) 40 overs second division.
The Noble House Seafoods will see Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Third Class battle over two days at the Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO) ground.
So far the military unit played one game against group leaders Malteenoes Sport Clubs (MSC), winning first innings on that occasion. They look a strong unit and with the likes of Leon Andrews in their batting much is going to be on his shoulders.
He scored a century in the match against MSC and found form at the latter stage of the recently concluded Jaguars Franchise League. Apart from him the GDF side is very experience with the presence of players like Jeremiah Harris and Randy Lindore among others.
Meanwhile, Third Class is not could be described as one of the traditional powerhouses of GCA but they have been competitive in recent years. A win in this match could also give them a solid opportunity to advance to the next round.
Alvin Castello has recorded two centuries in the tournament already (both against MSC) while Trevor Hossein continues to be their leading bowler with the ball as he has done over the years.
The match is expected to be keenly contested and the small GYO ground could provide even more anxiety to both teams. There will also be three matches in the GCA/ NBS tournament on today and tomorrow. Today, Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) will host Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) while GNIC ground will host the game featuring Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) against Ace Warriors.
Meanwhile, on Sunday the students from University of Guyana (UG) will journey to the MYO ground to play against the home team.
Some of the top players that are expected to be on show over the next two days include; GNIC- Joshua Persaud, Kurt Lovell, Gajanand Suknanan. GCC- Stefan Wilson, Martin Pestano Belle, Ravi Sarwan. Ace Warriors- Abzaad Gafoor, Clayon Halley. UG- Leon Williams, Ray Newton, Dennis Heywood.
