Narine leads Wellman Masters to title

The victorious Mike’s Wellman with the Republic Cup 2019 at Everest on Sunday.

Ramesh Narine spurred Mike’s Wellman to the Masters’ Over-40 title while Grill Masters beat Regal All-Stars to take the Open title in the annual Republic Cup last Sunday at the Everest Cricket Club ground.

In the championship match, Narine stroked 52 (3×6; 5×4) to setup Wellman Masters’ five-wicket victory with three balls to spare in fading light.

Set 164 to win from their 20 overs, the champions got useful knocks from skipper Wayne Jones and opener Ian Ramdeen who both weighed in with 28 runs each while Greg De Franca and Nandram Samlall got them over the rope.
