Out Ah Trouble Family remains Greiggs Softball cricket titans

Country Meet Town Out Ah Trouble picked up from where they left off in 2019, the last occasion of the staging of the Greiggs softball cricket competition, by taking the 2022 Caesar’s Real Estate/ Hairoun Beer/ Nar Fren Dem title last Sunday, November 20, at the Greiggs Central Playing Field.

Champions in 2018 and 2019, Out Ah Trouble easily defeated the RSVG Police by 109 runs in a lopsided affair.

Player of the Competition- Davian Barnum

Out Ah Trouble amassed 183 for 8 from their 20 overs. Eventual player of the final, Asif Hooper topscored with 40, and Javid Harry contributed 30.

Okeiph Andrews was RSVG Police’s most successful bowler, taking 2 for 21.

In their turn at the crease, the law enforcers struggled to get going, as Desroy Strough, 3 for 14, and Travis Cumberbatch who had 3 for 39, were too much for the RSVG Police who folded for 77 from 15.5 overs.

In the third- place play-off which took place before the final, Sion Hill Tallawahs won from Caesar’s Real Estate Nar Fren Dem by 11 runs.

Batting first, Tallawahs scored 132 all out from 16.4 overs. Denson Hoyte led with 46, and Delanzo Lavia added 43.
