Congratulations to Shavon Moore being named our Player of the 3rd Place Playoff. The bowling, allrounder continues to show that he was one of the better batsmen in the New Winthorpes side. Lions were then inserted to bat in a shortened game.
With just about 14 overs left in the innings, Moore straddled to the crease knowing that his team needed a good total on board. He immediately got to work and took it to Jennings bowling. He slammed 55 runs from 30 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes.His contribution with the bat aided his team in reaching 211 for 6 from 30 overs.
Jennings Tigers playing at home didn’t want to disappoint their fans again so decided to change things up for this game. The swashbuckling Winston Nelson and the resilient Cameron Miller put the Lions bowling under pressure from the first over of Ishmael Peters.
However, that was short-lived as Peters got his man Nelson who had hit him for 3 big sixes. Moore was introduced into the attack not too long after and started a bit waywardly. But as the innings progressed, he removed top scorer Paul Miller for 74 and Jaheim Africa for a one ball duck.
It was Moore who was given the task to restore some pride to the Lions and that he did very well.We would like to extend congratulations to Mr. Moore and New Winthorpes Lions for their accomplishments in this year’s Super40 Tournament and wish them continued success for the rest of the season.
