Following the abandonment of the final between Georgetown and Lower Corentyne at the Everest Cricket Club yesterday, the city side was deemed champions due to a superior net run rate throughout the Guyana Cricket Board 17-and-under Female T20 Franchise League.

According to the Board, the eventual champions established a net run rate of 3.6 whereas Lower Corentyne had a net run rate of 3.

Both teams played undefeated in separate groups, a feat which was commended by the Territorial Development Officer, Colin Stuart. According to Stuart, all the teams performed well and showed promise for the future.
