Rainsford sponsoring U19 cricket tournament

also plays for Mid West Rhinos, has donated a floating shield that will be up for grabs by the five teams.
The Ed Rainsford Cricket Festival tournament director, Adam Chifo, said the teams have been drawn from schools from Mashonaland West.
“We have Jameson, Pfupajena, Chegutu High and Roma,” said Chifo.
“The fifth side is a select made up of players from Kuredza, Rimuka and Mupamombe.”
He said some players from Mid West Rhinos were expected to officiate at the games as umpires.
“Rainsford is trying to give something back to the community and he also wants to show the up-and-coming players that there is life in cricket.
“This is also why we will be using some players like Richard Muzhange, Neville Madziva and Simon Mugava as umpires.
‘These guys are former students at Jameson and we hope they will inspire the Under-19 players to take cricket seriously.
“It’s my hope that we will also have leg spinner Wallace Mubaiwa who is playing for the junior national team,” said Chifo.
The tournament will be played on a round robin basis over six overs, with the top two teams then clashing in the final game over 10 overs.
Meanwhile, Kadoma Cricket Club were the winners of the inaugural edition of the Tembisa Super Six Bash tournament at Kadoma at the weekend.
Kadoma beat Chegutu by four runs with Madziva and Tarisai Masakadza top scoring for the champions.
Chegutu were dismissed for 81 runs after 10 overs while Kadoma managed 85 runs in 8.3 overs to lift the trophy.
