Shemaine Campbelle stroked an even century (100) from 138 balls to lead Berbice to a 75-run victory over Demerara to claim their fourth successive Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) female Inter-county One Day title at the Georgetown Cricket Club Ground, Bourda, yesterday.

Berbice won the toss and batted first in cool conditions racking up 216 for 6 from their allotted 50 overs.

Campbelle got support from Katana Mentore who made a patient 54 from 115 balls. The two batted sensibly putting on 151 for the third wicket to set up a strong total. Opener Melanie Mentore was the only other batter to reach double figures while extras contributed 34, 33 of which were wides.
