Tamana cops first title in California cricket

Tamana Unit­ed cap­tured the first ma­jor ti­tle of the 2013 SIS Cal­i­for­nia Women's Wind­ball Crick­et League when they nar­row­ly won the round-robin com­pe­ti­tion at the launch of the sea­son on Sat­ur­day.

Bat­ting first in the fi­nal played at Macaulay Park, Cal­i­for­nia, Tamana scored 20 runs in their al­lot­ted three overs and held their op­po­nents, Com­bine Forces, to 19, win­ning by one run.

It was dou­ble cel­e­bra­tion on the day for Tamana Unit­ed who were se­lect­ed as the Best Uni­formed Team. Sport­ing at­trac­tive pink uni­forms, a change from their cus­tom­ary green and white colours, the Tamana ladies cut strik­ing fig­ures on the field of play.

Tamana cap­tain Sylvie Bho­la said that her team, which is the de­fend­ing Knock-Out cham­pi­on, in­tends to take its open­ing-day suc­cess to the oth­er ma­jor com­pe­ti­tions this year. "We want to take this mo­men­tum in­to the league and knock-out com­pe­ti­tions," she said af­ter the vic­to­ry.

Wilton 'Flex' Grif­fith, founder and co­or­di­na­tor of the league, said the 2013 sea­son should be very com­pet­i­tive since most of the teams were al­ready en­gaged in oth­er leagues and were show­ing good form. The Cal­i­for­nia league, he added, was a nur­tur­ing ground for women crick­eters, sev­er­al of whom will rep­re­sent Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­al team which will tour South Africa in April.

Match­es in the league com­pe­ti­tion, which car­ries a prize of $8,000 for the cham­pi­ons, bowl off at Macaulay Park, on Sun­day, April 7.
