Jonathan Foo’s unbeaten half-century led Albion Community Centre to a comfortable seven wicket victory over Edinburgh this past weekend when the 2015 Berbice Bridge Company Inc first division 50-Over knockout competition continued in Berbice.
The ex-Guyana T20 batsman hit six fours and two sixes in his 61 while Guyana Under-17 batsman Adrian Sukwah contributed 36 as the two shared a 75-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. Edinburgh only managed 112 all out in 42.3 overs due to a collective spin bowling effort from ex-Guyana under-19 off-spinner Sharaz Ramcharran, (2-41), Daniel Lewis (2-2) and Guyana U19 off-spinner Balchand Baldeo (2-13). Jeeraish De Jees (22) was the top score for the losing team.
In reply, Sukwah and Foo took Albion to 114 for 3 in just 18 overs with Edinburgh’s Shafiek Khan collecting 2wickets for 4runs. Blairmont Community Centre for their part advanced after Bush Lot Rising Star had to withdraw from their first round match.
