G/town defeats East Bank despite Griffith’s century

Centuriy maker Trevon`Bugsy” Griffith plays a sweep shot off Ramaal Lewis as the duo continued their individual fine form.

A composed unbeaten knock from Georgetown’s skipper, Leon Johnson, eclipsed a virtuoso innings from Trevon Griffith to lead the defending champions past East Bank by two wickets in a tense second-round encounter of  the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) 50 overs franchise league at the Everest Cricket Club Ground, yesterday. 

The win for Georgetown was their second in a row, helping them to maintain their winning start while East Bank lost as many. 

East Bank’s undoing was attributed to a middle order collapse after they were well placed at 171 – 3. The last seven wickets then crumpled for 30 runs which saw them being dismissed for 201 in 45.2 overs.
