First-class player Trevon Griffith nabbed a career-best match haul of 15-87 while recording twin half-centuries to spur defending champions – the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) – to a commanding outright eight-wicket win over host, the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) in the latest round of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA), GISE, Star Party Rental, Trophy Stall first-division, two-day competition, yesterday. 

The day’s proceedings saw DCC resuming the second morning on 177-8; they only added eight runs to their overnight total before being dismissed for 185, surrendering first innings points and gifting GCC a 43-run first innings lead. 

Griffith (58) top-scored while Steven Sankar (37) made a useful lower order contribution as Winston Forrester grabbed 3-29 to end as his side’s most successful bowler.
