GCC dominate DCC in NBS Second Division Tournament

Yeudistir Persaud registered a brilliant performance with the bat to help the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) record a comfortable victory over the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) in the lone match of the New Building Society (NBS) Second Division 40-over competition played on Sunday, March 30th, on the home turf of the DCC in Queenstown, Georgetown.
After Georgetown Cricket Club had won the toss and opted to bat first, Ezekiel Wilson struck in the 3rd over to remove Shahid Ramzan via lbw, and Deonarine Seegobin soon got into the thick of things.
Yeudistir Persaud and Rivaldo Phillips then put on a 76-run 5th wicket partnership in which Phillips contributed a rapid 46 from 25 balls, including 5 fours and three sixes, before being trapped lbw by Kaylon Callender.

Yeudistir Persaud, however, continued to torment the DCC bowlers as he wielded his bat to produce a magnificent score of 133 runs from 115 balls, which included 6 fours and 11 sixes. Darshan Persaud with 27 and Tyree Glasgow with 18 contributed to the total being 279/10.
Adrian Gibbons had figures of 3 for 57 while Ezekiel Wilson had figures of 2 for 57 in the eight overs they each were allotted.
DCC found it difficult to gain momentum during their time at the crease, and fell for a disappointing 161 all out in 30.4 overs. Ricardo Percival made 23 runs from 35 balls, and Jaden Dowlin made 58 runs from 43 balls as the only two batsmen to score double figures for DCC.
Yeudistir Persaud recorded another outstanding performance, this time with the ball, in taking three wickets for 14 runs in 5.3 overs. Joash Charles, with 3 for 21, helped in the GCC win by an overwhelming 118 runs.
