PowerGen, Clarke Road set for Carib Cup wins

Defending champions PowerGen Sports and arch-rivals FCB Clarke Road United are set for massive victories in the Carib Cup Group “D” third round matches which will be concluded today.

Despite a stroke-filled 64 (eleven 4s) by Rajesh Kesseur, the Syne Village-based “Power Boys” restricted Cosmos Sports Club to 150 for 8 off 30 overs at the Kumar Recreation Ground yesterday. Off-spinner Abzal Dean claimed three wickets for 17 runs and provided his team the opportunity to push for victory and advance to the quarter-finals. However, attractive batting by Gibran Mohammed 65 (eight 4s), Ryerson Bhagoo 42 (one 6, five 4s), Damodar Dasrat 41 (four 6s, three 4s off 11 balls) and Alon Mahabir 38 not out (four 4s) enabled Clarke Road to amass a formidable 261 for five wickets against visitors Mayo Sports at the Wilson Road Recreation Ground. Victory will allow them to advance.
