Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) were spurred to a controlling position against Police Sports Club on the back of a six-wicket haul from Bernard Bailey on day one of the Georgetown Cricket Association/Noble House Seafood two-day second division final at the GCC ground yesterday.
GCC’s skipper Khemraj Jaikaran won the toss and elected to field first in the match which was delayed due to issues on the pitch. Nevertheless, when the action got underway, Police were restricted to 107 all out in 47.5 overs with GCC closing the day on 80-3 after 36 overs, 28 runs short of a first innings lead.
Police were rocked early on with Ronaldo Ali-Mohammed drawing Reginald Rodrigues to play into the hands of a diving Timothy McAlmont at gully.
