Fierce battle in schools cricket

by

20140205

The Pow­er­Gen Sec­ondary Schools Crick­et League com­pe­ti­tion is at the halfway stage and a keen bat­tle is brew­ing, as the top four teams are on­ly sep­a­rat­ed by sev­en points af­ter four rounds.

At the same stage last sea­son, the top four schools were sep­a­rat­ed by 16 points. Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege Ch­agua­nas, led by cap­tain Kamil Pooran, is the leader on 63 points, win­ning three and draw­ing one of its match­es.

Right on Pre­sen­ta­tion's kneels are Bar­rack­pore West Sec­ondary and Vish­nu Boys, who are tied for sec­ond po­si­tion on 59 points.

Three points be­hind is Tech­safe Princes Town West, which lost its first match of the sea­son on Tues­day against Vish­nu Boys.

There is al­so some stiff com­pe­ti­tion in the mid­dle of the ta­ble be­tween Cara­pichaima East (fifth), de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons Hillview (sixth) and Trin­i­ty Col­lege East (sev­enth). The teams are sep­a­rat­ed by four points.

Pre­sen­ta­tion's coach Lal­man Kow­lessar yes­ter­day said that he was hap­py with how his team was per­form­ing, but al­so want­ed his play­ers to have fun.

"I am not on­ly hap­py, but sur­prised, the boys are giv­ing their best and en­joy­ing their crick­et," he said, adding that the team would like to win the ti­tle, but he re­al­ly wants the team to have fun. He went on to say that the play­ers are al­so do­ing well in their aca­d­e­mics.

He went on to praise the team's field­ing, say­ing that it has con­tributed to the suc­cess, as good catch­es are be­ing tak­en.

Kow­lessar spoke high­ly of many play­ers, in­clud­ing broth­ers David and Per­nel Roberts and cap­tain Pooran.

He said Pooran was de­vel­op­ing rapid­ly, and was a play­er to look out for in the fu­ture.

The squad's na­tion­al play­ers, which in­cludes Emi­lo Gopaul, Crys­t­ian Thur­ton, Joel Suther­land and Matthew Patrick, have al­so led to the great start this sea­son.

With five match­es left, Pre­sen­ta­tion will be con­fi­dent, as it will play four of those match­es at home. Pres, how­ev­er, will have to bring its 'A' game in the next round on Tues­day, as it faces Vish­nu Boys, which is tied for sec­ond place.
