Cricket:
Choiseul wins Under-15 school Tournament
With
no sign of rain in the distance and the fall
of wickets at regular intervals, following a
25 run opening partnership, saw the Micoud Secondary
School struggled to reach the target of 157,
in the final of the 2009 Secondary School Under-15
Cricket Tournament played at the Dennery Cricket
Ground.
Sanjay Bastien top scored with 29 not out, Nickles
Sealyse made 24 and Denver Charles chipped in
with 15, in what one can consider a disappointing
108 all out in 21 overs, as the batsmen found
life difficult to adapt to the dry conditions
which were exploited by the opposition’s
bowlers.
St. Lucia national Under-15 off-spinner Vince
Smith tore through the batting to finish with
7 for 46 off nine overs, with Clem St. Rose
picking up 2 for 22, and Shanai Mesmin 1 for
17 for the Choiseul Secondary School. Fall of
wickets :- 1 for 25, 2 for 38, 3 for 38, 4 for
39, 5 for 52, 6 for 55, 7 for 55, 8 for 65,
9 for 102, all out for 108; inclusive of five
extras as Choiseul won by 48 runs, and the title.
Earlier the Micoud Secondary School won the
toss and invited the Choiseul team to take first
knock. |

They exerted
steady pressure on the batsmen, but the bowlers
allowed their concentration to stray, and
were guilty of conceding too many extras,
which was the high individual total on the
score sheet – 35 made of 3 leg-byes
and 32 wides.
Shanai Mesmin top-scored for Choiseul with
32, Vince Smith contributed 24, and Tevin
Biscette made 13, as Choiseul Secondary went
on to post 156 in 31 overs. Bowling for Micoud,
Sivius Stephen bagged 3 for 24, Jamal Lesmond
3 for 34, Vergel Theodule 2 for 44, and Sanjay
Bastien 1 for 18; as the Micoud Secondary
School’s bowlers made the batsmen toil
in the humid conditions. Fall of wickets 1
for 20, 2 for 45, 3 for 52, 4 for 96, 5 for
107, 6 for109, 7 for 109, 8 for 124, 9 for
154, and all out for 156.
The Micoud Secondary School camp was happy
with the work in the field, but the response
with the bat quickly took the joy away, as
Choiseul took home the lion’s share
of awards, including the Man of the Match
award which went to Vince Smith.
