Action in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/ New Building Society 40 over competition is set to continue this weekend at various venues in the city. A total of nine matches will be played between Saturday and Sunday.
Today there will be five matches with zone B encounter between last year’s runners up Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) expected to be the day’s key fixture. A tussle is expected at the MSC ground at Thomas Land for this encounter and like all other games in the tournament it is scheduled to start at 11:00h.
GCC will play the game without its captain Devon Lord and talented player Renaldo Ali Mohamed, who are currently representing
Renaldo Ali Mohamed
Georgetown in the Jaguars Franchise League. However, the Regent Road side is still expected to field a competitive unit which comprises the likes of Martin Pestano Belle and Stephan Wilson among other traditional players.
Meanwhile, the MSC team that has so far been strong in the Noble House Seafoods two-day tournament is also expected to field a strong team with the likes of Kareem Naughton, Ncosie Barker and Shaquille Moseley.
The last time these two teams met it was advantage GCC thanks to Ali-Mohamed’s all round special at the GNIC ground. So the Thomas Land side will be looking to avenge their loss in that clash as they aim to come out on top.
Meanwhile, the other four matches slated for Saturday involve reigning champions Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) playing at home against minnows Third Class and Police versus GDF in Zone A. While in Zone B Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO) versus University of Guyana (UG) at GYO and Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) tackles Transport Sports Club (TSC).
On Sunday August 11, Zone A will see clashes with DCC against Sophia at DCC, Police clash with Diplomats at Police, MSC take on TSC at MSC and GNIC play UG at GNIC.
