20130704

El Do­ra­do North Hin­du and Dins­ley Gov­ern­ment reigned supreme yes­ter­day, as the cur­tains closed in the RBC Roy­al Bank-spon­sored 30th An­nu­al In­ter-Pri­ma­ry Block-Up Wind­ball crick­et com­pe­ti­tion at the East­ern Re­gion­al Com­plex, Tacarigua.

In the boys league fi­nal, El Do­ra­do de­feat­ed St Joseph TML com­fort­ably by 53 runs, while Dins­ley got past St Joseph Girls by six wick­ets in the girls league fi­nal.

On Tues­day, El Do­ra­do lost the fi­nal of the boys knock­out com­pe­ti­tion to Bam­boo Gov­ern­ment by six wick­ets, but did not let that dis­ap­point­ment af­fect their per­for­mance. "Put that game be­hind you." This is what El Do's as­sis­tant coach Kim­raj Par­tap, told his team be­fore the start of yes­ter­day's match.

Bat­ting first in this 12-over match, open­ers Varun Par­tap, son of the as­sis­tant coach, and Nico­lai Be­har­rysingh got El Do off to a brisk start. At the halfway mark, they al­ready had 56 on the board with all their wick­ets in­tact. Par­tap was run out short­ly af­ter for 23. Be­har­rysingh was joined by Jerome Jag­ger­nauth at the crease, and the lat­ter was in a no-non­sense mood. In the ninth over, Jag­ger­nauth struck two six­es that led to a 15-run over. El Do were now rac­ing along at 85/1, with three overs re­main­ing.

Be­har­rysingh showed wis­dom be­yond his years, giv­ing Jag­ger­nauth more of the strike as the more ag­gres­sive bats­man. Jag­ger­nauth con­tin­ued his on­slaught, fin­ish­ing on 37 not out, which in­clud­ed four six­es and two fours. Be­har­rysingh pitched in with 28, as El Do post­ed a chal­leng­ing 116/1.

In re­sponse, St Joseph TML were strug­gling af­ter six overs at 29/1. Daryan Parks and Shaz­ad Mo­hammed showed some de­ter­mi­na­tion, bat­ting out the re­main­ing in­nings. Un­for­tu­nate­ly for St Joseph, they could on­ly muster 63 in their 12 overs.

Ear­li­er in the girls ten-over fi­nal, right-hand­ed Kalli­ma Bisses­sar scored an un­beat­en 20, as Dins­ley chased 55 in 7.1 overs to win the match. St Joseph Girls RC made 54/1 be­hind An­nalee Amow's 11 not out. In an in­ter­view af­ter the match, Pa­tri­cia Lee Quay, coach of Dins­ley said, "We are ec­sta­t­ic that we won, last year we had a strong team, but this year the team came to­geth­er. The prin­ci­pal and par­ents were sup­port­ive, help­ing with trans­port."
