Sixteen–year-old left-arm spinner Ashmead Nedd grabbed 6–70 while Robin Bacchus and Christopher Barnwell produced attacking second innings knocks to spur Georgetown to a comfortable six-wicket win over West Demerara at the Tuschen Sports Club Ground yesterday in the Guyana Cricket Board/Franchise League tournament.
West Demerara, resuming on 43 – 2, lost Tevin Imlach (8) with six runs added to the overnight total. However, skipper Akshaya Persaud and Raymon Reifer steadied proceedings before Nedd removed the latter for 21 with the score on 108 for 4.
Persaud duly reached his half century after striking nine boundaries and seemed to be the only batsman adept at countering the bounce and turn on offer.
