The New Opportunity Corps (NOC) were crowned the champions of the South Essequibo Cricket Committee T20 Chairman’s Cup recently after beating Jaguars Sports Club in the final by 33 runs in a low-scoring affair.
Rising Stars won the toss and sent NOC in to bat when the match got underway after the being reduced to 15 overs-per-side. With the wicket featuring a lot of preparation moisture after heavy rainfall, NOC posted 102 all out with Jaguars Sports Club replying with a dismal 69 all out in the penultimate over.
The new champions entered the final unbeaten following the round-robin stage and duly disposed of last year’s winners, Rising Stars, in the semifinals.
