Prasad’s century helps Marredpally Colts to a win

HYDERABAD: Century by opener R.L.V. Prasad (100, 12, x 4, 3 x 6) helped Marredpally Colts record a 20-run win over MCC in the A-Division (one-day) knock-out cricket tournament here.

The scores: MP Colts 248 (R.L.V. Prasad 100, Sandeep 48, A. Sandeep 50 not out) bt MCC 228 for nine (Naveen 64).

SP College in final

Sardar Patel College entered the final of the Osmania University inter-college cricket championship with a 33-run win over Aurora Degree & PG College in the semi-final here.

The scores: SP College 212 (Sandhilya 33, Benjamin Thomas 76, Naveen four for 42) bt Aurora Degree & PG College 179 (Shekar 36, Sandeep Rajan 44, Naveen 31, Chandrakanth three for 29, Ravi Teja three for 34).

Shastri SC holds BDL

Shastri Soccer Club rallied well to hold Bharat Dynamics Ltd to a one-all draw in the SAAP Budweiser Premier League football championship at Gymkhana Grounds here.

BDL took the lead when striker Amulraj positioned himself for a perfect cross from the left-flank by Alamdar Raza to find the target in the 51st minute. However, BDL joy was shortlived as within three minutes, it’s own defender Rakesh in his anxiety to clear the ball ended up in deflecting it into the goal to the delight of the Shastri camp.

In another match, City College Old Boys and Accountant General (AP) were locked in a goalless draw.

Ajay Kumar shines

Centre-forward Ajay Kumar scored four goals in Tarbund XI’s emphatic, 8-0 win over Republican Boys in the B-Division hockey league championship at Gymkhana Grounds here.

Left-in Ashwin Kumar struck a brace and right-out M. Atish Kumar and right-in M. Rajesh Babu one each to complete the tally for the winners.
