Formidable Demerara favourites to repeat as champs

Bhaskar Yadram

Expectations are high as the third Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/ Hand-In-Hand Mutual Fire and Life insurance (HIH) three-day U19 Inter-County tournament bowls off today with two matches.

Defending champions, Demerara, comes up against the Select U-17s at the Everest Cricket Club.

The strong Demerara team includes the likes of Sagar Hatirimani who has had success with both bat and ball in the recent Georgetown Cricket Association/New York Tri-State U-19 50 overs tournament while Nkosi Beaton, fresh off his maiden century and players such as Qumar Torrington, Stephon Wilson, West Indies youth cricketers, Bhaskar Yadram, Ashmead Nedd and Joshua Persaud will make Demerara a formidable unit.
