The Demerara under-19 team was again on the losing side in another closely contested match against the President’s XI as they were defeated with a ball to spare in the second round match of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Under-19 50 overs tournament, yesterday, at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) Ground, Bourda.

A superb 74-run, sixth-wicket partnership between Damion Waldron and Kelvin Sewpersaud guided the President’s XI to their target of 217 in 49.5 overs.

Waldron (48 from 85 deliveries) and Sewpersaud (26 from 49 balls)
