Sookdeosingh, Kallicharan hit centuries in National League

NICHOLAS Sookdeosingh and Kirstan Kallicharan both struck unbeaten centuries on the third and final day of round one in the TT Cricket Board Premiership I League on Sunday.

Sookdeosingh, playing for FC Clarke Road against PowerGen, struck 101 not out in the team’s second innings. His knock led Clarke Road to 161/4 at stumps to earn a draw at Syne Village in Penal. It was a much stronger batting effort as Clarke Road were skittled for 91 in the first innings, in response to PowerGen’s 251.

At the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair, Kallicharan slammed 100 not out and Camillo Carimbocas hit 124 to guide Queen’s Park Cricket Club (QPCC) I to 283/3 in their second innings against Preysal at stumps. The match ended in a draw with QPCC scoring 283 batting first, before Preysal responded with 273.

The match between QPCC II and Alescon Comets also did not have an outright winner at Pierre Road Recreation Ground in Charlieville and Victoria Sports just held on for a draw against Central Sports. Victoria closed on 179/9 in their second innings as Central Sports could not get the final wicket to earn victory.
