The Guyana National Industrial Corporation (GNIC) completed an exciting five-wicket win over the Guyana Defense Force (GDF) yesterday in the GISE/Start Party Rental/Trophy Stall Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) first division two-day competition at the Everest Cricket Club  Ground.

It was an exciting end to the match which had an ugly spectacle with GDF players deliberately attempting to waste time.

That act contradicted the spirit of the game, which resulted in the umpires issuing the winners five penalty runs as a consequence of GDF’s actions.
