Berbice U17s yesterday defeated their Essequibo counterparts by 115 runs at the Everest Cricket Club ground when the Guyana Cricket Board, Igloo Ice-Cream U17 Inter County tournament commenced.
Berbice’s commanding victory came on the back of a fine batting performance from opener Alex Algu who stroked a belligerent half-century.
He received support from 15-year-old all-rounder Gevon Shultz who made 32 and captured four wickets for 21 runs to crown an impressive all-round showing.
