ALBION Sports Club spin twins Veerasammy Permaul and Gudakesh Motie proved too much for the Trinidad & Tobago Red Force team and together they sparked the Guyana Jaguars to an emphatic WICB PCL fourth round victory at the Queen’s Park Oval yesterday.
Both Permaul and Motie mesmerised the Trinidadians and allowed the Guyanese Franchise outfit to celebrate a famous and comprehensive victory by an innings and 49 runs
It was the Jaguars fourth consecutive outright win and they collected 17 points for their dedicated efforts in their first away match of the 2015-16 professional double round-robin season.
Final Scores: T&T Red Force 210 and 216. Guyana Jaguars 475.
With 12 points for outright victory plus 3 bowling points and two batting points; the Guyana Jaguars moved to 70 points and maintained their overall lead and strengthened their chances of retaining the coveted Headley-Weekes Trophy, emblem of Regional First Class Supremacy.
The Red Force team was always up against the odds to thwart the Jaguars and only the fickle rainy weather conditions would have helped the homesters to stave off such an embarrassing and crushing defeat.
But despite the herculean efforts by Guyanese-born Narsingh Deonarine in tandem with Barbados-born Kyle Hope, the two franchise players in the T&T outfit; to rally the Red Force to a drawn match, the whole momentum changed when 20-year-old Motie outfoxed his Albion clubmate Deonarine and had him caught by Shimron Hetmyer for 47.
