The Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/Noble House Seafoods second-division, two-day semifinals between Everest Cricket Club and host Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ended in a draw after the entire second day was abandoned due to rain.
GCC had dominated the entire first day on Saturday but there was to be no play on Sunday due to the constant downpour of rain.
The game ended with GCC 326-6 from 91 overs mainly due to a responsible knock of 123 from Deonarine Seegobin. Elon Fernandes (39), Devon Lord (38) and Gavin Singh (38) provided support. Bowling for Everest, Shaheed Mohamed picked up 2-86.
