Essequibo fell to their second defeat, this time a 160-run loss at the hands of Berbice who bundled them out for 13 runs in the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) senior female Inter-County competition  at the Lusignan Community Center, East Coast Demerara yesterday.

Reduced to 24 overs-a-side after rain threatened the day’s play Essequibo won the toss and elected to bowl first.  The move saw them picking up wickets consistently early on before a century stand from Erva Giddings and Katana Mentore put paid to their efforts.

Berbice were in a spot of bother at 40-3 losing the wickets of Shenita Grimmond for 25 with the score on 38 while Mayon Bason removed Melanie Henry and Sherika Campbell with successive deliveries.
