The Demerara Cricket Board Under-19 Inter-Association Super 50 competition continued on Wednesday, April 10, 2025, at the Transport Cricket Ground, and it was another one-sided affair as the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) continued to dominate.

After winning the toss, Upper Demerara decided to bat and started off strongly. After a 57-run partnership between openers Yannick Newton and Keshawn Silas, Wavell Allen bowled Newton out for 31 off 29 balls, including three sixes. Then, at 76 for 3 after scoring 23 off 39 balls ( four fours), Silas was dismissed. Spin then entered the fray as Upper Demerara fell apart. Dave Mohabir and Riyad Latif each took three wickets as Upper Demerara collapsed to 121 all out in 30.5 overs.
GCA made light work of the chase, reaching their target score (122 for 1) in 19 overs. Romeo Deonarain put in a Man-of-the-Match performance, scoring 64 from 58 balls inclusive of nine fours and one six. Captain Dhanesh Persaud got his wicket in the 18th over. Shiloh Adams, 31, and Jayden Dowlin, 10, finished the game not out as GCA won by nine wickets.
The tournament is scheduled to continue today, April 11, when the GCA take on the West Demerara Cricket team.
