Deonarain leads DCC to victory over TSC

Rising star Romeo Deonarain starred with bat and ball in the Demerara Cricket Club’s defeat of Transport Sports Club last Friday in a specially arranged fixture.

A fine all-round display by 12-year-old Romeo Deonarain helped the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) crush Transport Sports Club (TSC) by five wickets in a feature Under-15, 30-overs-a-side match played under lights last Friday at the home of legends, DCC, Queenstown. 

TSC won the toss and batted first in lovely conditions for cricket and openers R. Latif and A. Mohabir put on a partnership of 26 before Mohabir was dismissed for seven.

Deonarain, introduced into the attack, spun webs around the TSC batsmen with only Latif offering resistance with a fighting 29 as his team was dismissed for 82 in the final over. Deonarain finished with 4 for 10 from five overs. He got support from K. Caesar and S. Walters with two wickets apiece.
