Dexter George and Tevin Imlach scored half centuries for Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) on the first day of their rain affected match against the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/Noble House Seafoods second division two-day competition on Saturday.
George’s unbeaten 78 (9×4) and Imlach’s (64) inspired DCC to 243-9 before rain had the final say. With play beginning an hour late at the Gandhi Youth Organisation ground, DCC was off to a bright start with Imlach and Kemol Savory adding 61 for the first wicket before Savory was stumped by Martin Pestano-Belle off Tariq Dharamlall for 35.
However, after the first wicket fell, constant inroads by the GCC bowlers left their opponents in a worrying position at 119-6 before George and Cleon Mc Ewan (12) added 19 for seventh wicket.
