TTCB – Results Carib Sunday League
Final - Saturday 15th March
Merry Boys triumphed against Wanderers
NAZ YACOOB
CERAMIC Merry Boys Sports registered their second lien on the
prestigious Carib Beer Sunday League title when they defeated
arch-rivals W Connection Wanderers in the day/night final on Saturday at
Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre.
Winners in 2006, the Diego-Martin-based team trounced
their opponents by 27 runs in a closely contested encounter before a
large crowd in the "Oil Refinery". Merry Boys led by half-centuries from
Mario Belcon, Samuel Felix and Aneil Kanhai tallied a competitive 268
from the allotted 50 overs.
Wanderers in reply were dismissed for 241 in 49.3
overs.
Opting for first strike on a placid pitch, Merry Boys
were given a flyer by openers Belcon and Felix.
The pair posted 121 for the first wicket partnership
before they were separated, when the former was bowled by former T&T
middle-order batsman Rajendra Mangallie for a well played 60, which was
scored of 87 balls with three fours.
Shortly after, Felix was trapped in front to Mangallie
for a well compiled 64 off 100 balls with three fours.
Former T&T and West Indies middle-order batsman
Lincoln Roberts (1) did not last long, but skipper and "Man of the
Match". Kanhai sustained the pressure on the Wanderers' bowling attack
with a polished 50 off 44 balls, laced with four fours.
In their victory chase for the coveted Carib Beer
Trophy and $55,000, Wanderers stumbled to 72 for five after 22 overs,
but the evergreen Narine Bidhesi and former T&T youth batsman Sanjeev
Maharaj featured in an enterprising sixth wicket partnership of 93 which
lifted the hopes of the Central team.
But once they were separated, the writing was on the
wall.
Bidhesi struck a solid 60 from 68 deliveries with five
fours and a six, and Maharaj plagued by a leg injury scored 39 with four
fours from 51 balls.
Towards the end, Navin Stewart hit a blistering 40 off
25 balls, but it was little too late.
Kyron Lynch (2-40), Neil McGarrell (2-31) and Dominic Choy (2-38) were
the top bowlers for Merry Boys.
McGarrell copped the "Best Bowler" award, while the
pint-sized Bidhesi emerged as the leading batsman.
Young Franklyn Rouse was named as the "Best
Fieldsman".
