Young Warriors are Noble House national Twenty/20 champs

By Kizan Brumell

It was an all Berbice final yesterday and Young Warriors proved to Rose Hall Town Windies Sports Bar that they were the superior team defeating them by 25 runs to become the inaugural champions of the Noble House-sponsored Malteenoes Sports Club Invitational Twenty20 Knockout Tournament.

Nothing short of an exciting final it was as Young Warriors got to a massive 181 – 7 in 20 overs with a sterling contribution from Rudolph Baker, who remained unbeaten on 59 and former national captain Damodar Daesrath, who also contributed 59.

Baker’s performance was enough to earn him the man-of-the-match award as he took 18 balls to accumulate his runs.
