Rain has final say in Essequibo-Select U-17 clash

Torrential rain on Monday morning forced both matches in the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/ Hand-in-Hand Insurance Under-19 Inter-county three-day tournament to have no play.
At the Everest Cricket Club Ground, it would have been the final day of action between Essequibo and the National Under-17 Select team, who both have suffered opening round defeats.

A result seemed possible with the boys from the Cinderella County leading by 148 and all of their second innings wickets intact. Their ascendency came after they bundled out the U-17s for 146 in response to their 290. Joel Fortune took 5-20 and burly pacer Joshua Jones had 5-45. Over at Lusignan Community Centre Ground, in a match that will have its final day today should weather permit, Berbice were 102-5 in response to Demerara’s 148.
