Victorious under 19 Cricketers Back home
By: Devon Anderson and Dwight Fraser
Jamaica's under 19 Cricketers are back home after successful tournaments in St. Kitts. The TCL/West Indies Under 19 Three Day and the Limited (50) Overs competitions were entered into with confidence by Jamaica’s team.
The Andre Coley coached Jamaicans finished a respectable second in the three day format of the game, which was eventually won by Guyana.
However, the fortunes of the young Jamaicans changed during the One Day Competition when some flashes of brilliance with the bat, from: Shakoya Thomas, Derval Green (Captain), Horace Miller, Christie Jones, Nkruma Bonner and Andre Creary and with the ball, from: Jason Dawes along with Jamie Merchant helped facilitated the outdoing of their opponents to cap a scintillating run over five games.
In the finals, Jamaica chasing Guyana's 226 all out romped to 229 for 2 with 9 overs to spare, led by a “Man of the Match” performance from opener Horace Miller who scored a brilliant 133.
The Black, Gold and Green standard bearers under the Guidance of manager, Fitz Harris, hustled throughout the tight format of the schedule against The Leewards, The Winwards, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana to cop a well deserved silverware.
