Furniture Boys in exciting Pole 9 finish

Furniture Boys registered their first victory in three attempts in a keenly contested match against North Eastern Division Police team over the weekend as matches in the Pole 9 windball cricket series continued. Batting first, the star studded Furniture Boys team got solid contributions from Ryad Emrit (39) and national player Lyndl Simmonds (21) on their way to a respectable total of 137 for six wickets. Ashton Mannick was the best bowler for Police with figures of two for 19. Police were always in the hunt  with Rajesh Seebaran  hitting the ball with extreme power to all parts of the ground scoring a brilliant 53 not out in (27 balls). In the last over with five wickets in hand and seven runs needed, and Seebaran still at the wicket Police looked an easy winner. However Dave Baboolal bowled the last over and Seebaran could only look on at the other end as all five wickets fell. Police eventual came up five  runs short of the total set by Furniture Boys with Baboolal taking three for 23.
