The management of the Young Warriors Cricket Club has embarked on a programme to arrange matches against fellow clubs and the Club’s Under-17 Team on Sunday last played their counterparts from the Everest Cricket Club from Georgetown, and crushed them by 202 runs in a highly-impressive display.

France was run out for 18 at 53 for 2 before Carl Gilgeous and Garfield Benjamin added 140 for the third wicket in a high-class partnership. Garfield Benjamin, 64; Alex Algoo, 58; Gilgeous, 66; and Jevon Schultz, 38, were the principal scorers as the Everest bowlers were put to the sword. Renaldo Mohamed, with 3 for 67 from 8 overs, and Brandon Ramnarine, with 2 for 12 from 5 overs, were the main bowlers for the visitors.
