March 12, 2010

PENAL Sports Association, regarded as the most vibrant minor league cricket organisation in the country launched their ninth annual Under-16 competition last Saturday with two matches played simultaneously, one at the La Fortune Recreation Ground and the other at the St Croix Recreation Ground.

At La Fortune, the home team battled against PCO of Masahood, bowling them out for 201 runs in 21 overs, but in reply were dismissed for 101 in 17 overs.

Fifteen-year-old Stephan Seepersad scored a brilliant 79 for the winning team, supported by Sadir Meharsan who chipped in with a well-played 38 not out. Meharsan starred again, finishing with bowling figures of 4/20.

STX of St Croix, playing on their home ground crushed the La Romain Avengers. Batting first they scored 198 in their allocated 25 overs. In reply, the boys from La Romain were bowled out for a paltry 109 in 16 overs.
