Sept. 30th, 2008
Eastern American Youths made a clean sweep of the 2008 Tri State Under-19 series by adding the Regional title to their list by sweeping aside Connecticut in the final played in Connecticut.

Victorious Eastern American Under-19 team.

A brilliant bowling performance by Andy Mohamed spurred Eastern American to a 51-run victory that repeated their triumph over the same team in the Tri State New York finals three weeks earlier.

Mohamed bagged five wickets for 15 runs with his off spin that sent Connecticut crashing to 78 all out in reply to Eastern Americas’ 129 in the 35 overs a side game. Sunil Ghandi was also unplayable snaring 3-8.

Earlier Karran Bridgepaul carried Eastern American to their eventual winning score with a fine 40 runs topscore which was aided by 34 from Irfan Ijaz with 34 and Ramesh Ramnarine 23.
Andrew Ajodhi came into his own for Connecticut with another excellent leg spin bowling display that saw him bagging 3-19. H. Smith was also in good form recording identical figures.

Sunesh Wazid

Connecticut’s batsmen never coped with the bowling which was reflected in the topscore of 17 made by Colin Munroe.

Eastern American ended the series unbeaten, and has the Regional and New York titles as reward.

Meanwhile Richmond Hill crushed Everest ACS by seven wickets to win the EACA League Twenty/20 title staged in New York recently.

Richmond Hill’s Sunesh Wazid destroyed Everest by taking 5-13 to help dismiss the innings for 98 runs in 19.2 overs. He got good support from Latchman Udai who bagged 2-31. Only Karan Ganesh with 24 runs gave any resistance for Everest ACS.

Richmond Hill replied with 104-3 led by a blazing 49 not out from in-form Zaheer Saffie. Shameer Sadloo chipped in with 25. For Everest Trevor Walke took 2-18.
