Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC), Police and Everest Cricket Club were the other teams to advance to the semis.
At Camp Ayangana, GDF fell for 71 on the second day after closing on 22-7 on day one after GNIC made 325-9 declared in their first innings. Off-spinner Gajanand Suknanan spearheaded GNIC’s attack with 5-28 to dismantle the military unit in their first innings.
In a rather strange move, instead of enforcing the follow, GNIC chose to bat again to compile 223-8 before declaring for a second time in the match. Ovid Richardson followed up his first innings top score of 121 with 100 before he retired hurt. He was supported by Premchand Sookdeo, who made 61.
Spinners Randy Lindore and Dennis Legay were the pick of GDF’s bowlers with three and two victims respectively.
Across at Eve Leary, the lawmen arrest Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) after a brilliant century (146) by all-rounder Steven Harris. Resuming on 68-1 the host rallied to 360 all out. Apart from Harris’ century, Paul Tyndall and Jason McCalmont chipped in with 44 apiece.
Meanwhile, at Everest, DCC conceded to the host after they reached 213-9 in reply to 387. Everest’s innings ended early on the second morning after they resumed at 368-7, Khemraj Ramdeen made 98. Linden Lyght and Dennis Squires took three wickets each while Sherfane Rutherford assisted with two scalps.
Fourteen year old batting prodigy, Sachin Singh made 48 for the visitors while West Indies u-19 player Tevin Imlach scored 39 and Raymond Perez 38. Saheed Mohamed and Dwayne Adams collected four wickets each for Everest.
GNIC will clash with Everest in semifinal one while Police and TSC will do battle in semifinal two. Days and venues for these matches will be announced later.
