GCC in command despite Griffith’s all-round brilliance

Bhaskar Yadram picked up a career-best 7-70

Demerara Cricket Club’s (DCC) captain, Trevon Griffith led from the front with an eighth-wicket haul, followed up by a half century but Georgetown Cricket Club still maintained a lead of 50 runs on the first day of the Georgetown Cricket Association/ Star Party Rental/GISE/Trophy Stall division one tournament.

In another fixture, Bhaskar Yadram took 7-70 for Everest to highlight an evenly poised contest against Malteenoes Sports Club.
