When Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) right-hander Tevin Imlach reached his maiden regional first-class century against Jamaica at the Providence Stadium last Friday, he was continuing a great club tradition which started when the late Maurice Pacheo Fernandes scored the first century by a DCC batsman for Guyana at the regional level.
Fernandes scored 124 against Trinidad at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground, Bourda, in 1925. He followed up that century with another ton, 141, some four years later in 1929 against Barbados again, at GCC Bourda.
