Five overs into the final day’s play of the Georgetown Cricket Association GISE/Star Party Rental/Trophy Stall first-division two-day final, Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ensured they retained their championship for the third straight season by virtue of first innings points over nemesis Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC).
Resuming on 90 for eight and still 500 runs behind at DCC, GCC could only add two to their total as they were bowled out in 25.2 overs. DCC, already securing the $120,000 first prize, then enjoyed batting practice as they went in to lunch on 105 for four after 27 overs but no play was possible due to rain forcing the umpires to call off the match at 13.30 hours.
