Tuff Dogs look to bounce back

Another Lindo’s Twenty20 match is scheduled for Friday night at Somerset Cricket Club when Evening League side Tuff Dogs play their second group match against PHC.

Tuff Dogs lost their opening match last Friday when they were beaten by Somerset by 54 runs, making a gallant reply with 151 in 17.2 overs after the home side posted 205 for four in their 20 overs.

Opener Joshua Gilbert scored 79 not out for Somerset with Raoul Khan supporting with 52 in a second-wicket stand of 134 with Gilbert.

With league matches completed, the T20 tournament will continue over the next three weekends to complete the 2014 season.

“I’m looking forward to some exciting cricket to finish our season,” Lloyd Fray, the Bermuda Cricket Board president, said. “The Lindo’s T20 has become a major domestic competition, which all our clubs, players and fans look forward to.

“I am confident that we will see some very competitive games again as teams try to capture this coveted trophy from the 2013 champions St David’s.”

Lindo’s will provide two new Kookaburra Senator match balls for each game, Zach Moniz, the director of Marketing for Lindo’s, confirmed. “Lindo’s is very pleased to continue its partnership with the BCB and this exciting format of cricket,” Morris said.

“Once again we will see some evening games which we hope will encourage more community involvement and greater diversity in the fanbase. I look forward to a great competition and fun cricket played in the spirit of sportsmanship.”

St David’s will begin the defence of their title on Sunday when they take on Devonshire Recreation Club in their first group match. A total of six matches are scheduled for Lord’s, Sea Breeze Oval, White Hill and Somerset with double-headers at White Hill Field and Somerset Cricket Club starting at 11am and 3pm.
