THE small town of Syne Village, Penal, erupted with delight on Sunday night when Sherwin Ganga of PowerGen bowled the final ball in the inaugural WIPA Twenty20 Club Championship at Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre.

Supporters of the PowerGen cricketers could hardly wait the final outcome and on two occasions surged onto the playing field and had to be coaxed back over the boundary line.

PowerGen had just concluded an emphatic 41-run victory over W Connection Wanderers to pouch the TT$1 million winner’s prize.

After scoring 133 all out in their 20 overs, with tight bowling and excellent ground fielding they restricted the powerful Wanderers team to 92 for nine wickets.

The tassa drums rolled, whistles blew. There was dancing in the glare of the Guaracara Park floodlights, not to mention “leh we take one for that.”
