It took some 39 years before another triple century was scored in the Georgetown Cricket Association’s first-division tournament and Trevon `Bugsy’ Griffith is crediting fitness for his tremendous achievement.

Last Saturday, the 30-year-old opener scored an even 300 from 228 balls during the Demerara Cricket Club’s first innings against arch-rivals the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) and in the process ensuring that his team retains the GISE/Star Party Rentals/Trophy Stall division-one title for the third straight season.
