Chase Academic Foundation (CAF) yesterday defeated Covent Garden Secondary School by 58 runs at the Everest Cricket Club ground Camp Road to retain the North Georgetown Zone title in the Guyana Cricket Board/Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society/ National Sports Commission/National Secondary Schools Cricket League (GCB/DMLAS/NSC/NSSCL).
Winning the toss and electing to bowl in the 15 overs affair, CAF raced to 96-3 from their allotted overs before bowling out Covent Garden for 38 in 62 balls.
CAF were scheduled to play Christ Church Secondary but were given the title after Christ Church failed to show up while Covent Garden were booked to play Diamond Secondary in the first round of the East Bank Demerara Zone but Diamond also never showed up at the YMCA ground, Thomas Lands.
