The San Francique Presbyterian school team proudly display their medals and trophy after being named the winner of the Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Festival on Monday at the National Cricket Centre in Balmain, Couva.
Despite 83 from Central batsman Crystian Thurton yesterday, East easily won by 141 runs at the Bamboo Recreation Ground to advance to the final of the BG T&T Under-15 Interzone two-day tournament.
Chasing an imposing 281 for victory in 42 overs, Central needed someone to step up to the plate. Right-handed Thurton, who represented the national Under-15 team last year, showed his class, but did not get enough help. Central was dismissed for 141 in 39.4 overs, with Nathaniel McDavid taking 4/38 and Kareem Muradali grabbing 3/15.
Earlier in the day, Kallicharan again top scored for East, hitting 70 to lead the team to 202/8 in the second innings off 42 overs. On Tuesday Kallicharan struck 86 in the first innings. McDavid pitched in with 44, while Brandon Ali tried his best to contain the East batsmen, snatching 3/25.
At Sancho Recreation Ground, Princes Town, South-East booked a spot in the final with a 67-run win over North. South-East did not bat as well in the second innings, getting to 118/9 of its 41 overs. However, this gave South-East an overall lead of 194 runs. Cooper, who made an unbeaten 81 in the first innings, top scored again for South-East with 35. Brandon Maraj contributed 22, while Michael Ambard was the pick of the bowlers taking 4/22.
Chasing a competitive 195 for victory in 41 overs, North could only get 127/6. Narvin Bedaise was left unbeaten on 47 and Kevon Surzano struck 22. For South-East, Avinash Roopnarine (1/21), Avinash Mahabirsingh (1/15) and Justin Gangoo (1/24) all grabbed one wicket each.
East and South-East will play in the final on June 3 and 4 at the National Cricket Centre in Balmain, Couva.
