Johnathan Foo’s unbeaten fifty gave Lower Corentyne a slight edge over opponents Georgetown in round two’s opening day of the ongoing Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Jaguars Franchise League 3-Day tournament.

Played at the Albion Community Center Ground, table leaders Lower Corentyne were 123-3 from 29 overs at stumps, trailing Georgetown by 89 runs in reply to the visitors first innings 212 all out.

The in-form Foo, fresh off a scorching 152 in the first round against Essequibo, followed up his ton with another brutal display of power-hitting which took him to 75 not out at close of play.

He will be eyeing another three figure score when he resumes today with partner David Latchaya who is unbeaten on 02.
