Yaadboyz lose to Superkings in Round 1

The Yaadboyz team took a sound beating in Round 1 of Div 1 in the SFSCL yesterday.

Having lost the toss (actually Superkings claimed it as we didn't have 7 players at the ground by 12 .15), the Yaadboyz endured 25 overs of fielding witnessing sheer carnage by the Superking top order batsmen.The only two wickets to fall were Brian and Max before Ryan and Martin filled their boots to both hit unbeaten centuries against a tired looking bowling attack from the Yaadboyz.

The final total posted was an impressive 272 for the loss of 2 wickets.

Yaadboyz got off to a swift start from Cliff and John and were soon at 96 by the 13th over break. After that Ravi managed to hit a quickfire 50 odd to see our score pass 180 for 8 in 25 overs but fall way short of the winning total to get the win.

Generally it was a performance of "Better luck next time" for the Yaadboyz as they lost by nearly a hundred runs.

Next week we face Unlimited CC at the Yard.

League News and Early Fixtures

Yaadboyz CC kick off their new season in Div 1 against Superkings CC being played at The Yard this coming sunday in round 1.

This is followed by a game against Unlimited CC in round 2 and against Berbice CC in round 3 with these two games also scheduled to be played at The Yard.

Having lost 5 players of their squad from last season, the Yaadboyz are looking to honor all their games in Div 1 whether they have a full team or not. We would like to wish the players who left us all the best for the future and hope they enjoy playing for their new sides in years to come. Good luck to you all.

Players coming and going is a normal practice in our league but these players need to realize that wherever they end up they will have to start from zero at their new team. They have to get used to new leaders, new team mates, and most importantly new roles in their new side. Nothing guarantees them a bowl or a bat in that new side. Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side. We will wait and see if the move works out for best for you all or not.

One last piece of news is a gentle reminder that the Div 1 Final from last season will be played this coming Saturday at Tamarac Recreational Park with a 5pm start between Hustler and Hurricanes.
This game has the makings of being an even contest and a close game but it will have to go some to match our final in Div 2 last season for excitement, great cricket, top bowling, great batmanship, and most importantly, a great celebratory drink up after the game finishes.

Good luck to both sides this saturday.

Florida Masters beat Orlando Masters by 7 wickets

Florida Masters Squad
South Florida Masters Yaadboyz

South Florida Masters lead by an aggressive 72 from Nazim Ali easily defeated their rivals Orlando Masters by 7 wickets at the Broward Cricket Stadium in the inaugural match of the Florida Premier Softball Cricket League.

South Florida Masters captain, Chris Arjoon, asked Orlando to take first strike and saw Orlando's top order struggle against some accurate bowling from the South Florida opening bowlers. They lost their first wicket on 20 when Azar Khan was comprehensively bowled by Amar Singh as he was trying to accelerate the scoring rate.  Orlando Master continued to loose wickets at regular intervals as they kept the pressure on what seems to be a nervous batting line-up.   Yamin Ifty top scored with 31 and was the only batsman that looked comfortable against the South Florida bowling attack.

Trevor Persaud  and Joe Ramgobin were the top bowlers for South Florida with three wickets each and were well supported by Deodat Ramesh, Kaiume Mohammed, Amar Singh, and Paul Roach who all had very economical figures.

South Florida Masters
In reply to Orlando's total of  132, South Florida got off to a flying  start with  Nazim Ali taking the attack to the Orlando opening bowlers.  Nazim Ali went on to score the first half century in the Florida Premier Softball Cricket league and he was well supported by the hard hitting  Kaiume Mohamed who scored an aggressive 32  which included four sixes.
South Florida Masters v Orlando Masters
The Florida Masters team managed to complete the run chase by the 18th over.

The squad itself was made up of 5 Yaadboyz CC (Basil, Ravi, John, Amar, Chris capt), 3 Guyana Heat CC (Ramesh, Paul, Joe), 1 Outlaw CC (Kaiume vc), 1 Hustler CC (Trevor), 1 Breakaway CC (Jay), 1 FiveStar CC (Nazim) and managed by Yaadboyz CC Cliff Rahaman.

Final Scores
Orlando 132/10
South Florida 133/3
