Everest Cricket Club (ECC) and Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) played to a tame draw at Camp Road but it was the home side who walked away with the bigger smile after securing first innings in their Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Noble House Seafood Second Division two-day cricket competition on Sunday.
In response to Everest’s 213, GCC were bowled out for 153 in 65.3 overs with Malcom Persaud, who took 3 for 64 in ECC first innings top-scoring with 51 (6x4s; 1×6) while Timothy Mcalmon 50 (1×4; 1×6) also showed some fight.

With a lead of 60, Everest ended the day on 141 for 6, with Mohamed smoking 46 (3x4s; 3x6s). Khemraj Ramdeen (35) and Kevin Paul (18) were the unbeaten batsmen at the crease.
