Our Own Sports Club became the first team to capture two Toronto Cup titles after defeating Canadian Legends in last Sunday’s Masters over-40 final played at the University of Toronto ground, Scarborough, Canada.
Set 106 for victory, after limiting their opponents to 105 for eight in their allotted 20 overs, Our Own reached 106 for seven in 18 overs.
The tense, three-wicket victory over their Canadian-based counterparts, was also reminiscent of their two-wicket triumph over the Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) in the inaugural final, played at the same venue in 2015.
As in 2015, Our Own’s skipper Mahendranauth “Bobby” Parasnauth asked the opposition to take first strike and again his decision proved decisive despite some anxious moments as victory neared.
