Richmond Hill Liberty CC dominate season opener

RICHMOND Hill Liberty Cricket Club dominated their season opener in the 30-over cricket League with a commanding 226-run victory over Game Changer’z at Baisley Pond in Queens NY, on Saturday. Richmond Hill, a predominantly overseas-based Guyanese team, won the toss and opted to bat first. Although they lost one of last season’s top performers, Dion Chooweenam (1) cheaply, former Berbice inter-county cricketer, Derick Narine, who had delivered a man-of-the-match performance to lead Phoenix XI to the Saturday’s T20 league victory in 2020, was able to play his game. Narine and former national U-19 cricketer, Azeemuddin Khan, added 59 for the second wicket, before Narine fell in the ninth over for 43. His innings was punctuated by eight fours and a six in 21 balls. Troy Mars joined Khan and the two Guyanese continued the assault. For the third wicket, the duo produced a batting display by adding 151 in 15.3 overs.
