Demerara retained the Guyana Cricket Board Inter-County under-17 tournament after marching to their third consecutive victory by defeating the Select Under-15 by two runs at the Everest Cricket Club ground, yesterday.
Demerara won the toss and elected to bat first but threw away a good start to only manage 207 all out in 48.1 overs while the Select U15 gave a good account of themselves, reaching 205-6 in their full quota.
Demerara lost Raynaldo Mohammed who was run out in the second over with just eight runs on the board but a 99-run partnership between Romel Datterdeen and Man-of-the-Match, Matthew Nandu helped repair the damage.
