South Zone Beat East Zone In Final, Win Deodhar Trophy Title For 9th Time
South Zone's juggernaut continued as they clinched the Deodhar Trophy title for the ninth time with a commanding 45-run win over East Zone in the final, here on Thursday. After opener Rohan Kunnummal smacked a sensational century -- a 75-ball 107 with four sixes and 11 fours -- to set the ball rolling for his side, there was no stopping the South Zone who piled up 328 for eight in the summit clash batting first. South Zone's impressive bowling line-up then made life miserable for the East Zone batters, whose top order crumbled to reach 75 for four after 16 overs and were left staring at a mountain to climb. It was not for the first time in the Deodhar Trophy that East Zone pinned all their hopes on the pair of Riyan Parag and Kumar Kushagra, who delivered yet again with a 105-run stand for the sixth wicket, but their effort was just not enough.

Aberdeen named biggest Celtic title threat as cheeky Hotline caller declares Rangers rebuild a write-off
James Forrest's testimonial continued to be a Hotline talking point as the minutes tick down to the real stuff starting. Arrin Geddes, Irvine, said: "It’s easy for The Green Brigade to boycott James Forrest’s testimonial when you’re paying £22 for a ticket but some of that money was going to club charities and I hope they think about that when they’re standing outside Celtic Park with their collection buckets. Maybe they should have had their protest on Saturday." Steve McSherry, Uddingston, said: "Having watched the James Forrest testimonial against Bilbao, I am happy with the squad going into the new season. I do however, predict a challenge from Aberdeen who have had a busy transfer window. Having said that, we are miles ahead of the rest and will win the league with ease. It’s Europe where we need to make our mark." Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: "James Forrest is two short of overtaking the great Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox as the most decorated Celtic player trophy winner and James should take a leaf out of Frankie Dettori the jockey/trainer and auction them off for charity, as no point keeping them in a cupboard gathering dust."
