Leg – spinner Akeem Clarke and batsman Devon Allen orchestrated a commanding 157-run win for the Transport Sports Club (TSC) over the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) while Sachin Singh and Alphius Bookie struck unbeaten half-centuries for the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) who defeated Bel Air Rubis by nine wickets in second round action of the GCA/American Youth Premier Cricket League Under-19 Cricket Competition.
TSC, at Bourda, won the toss and elected to bat after which they posted 220-7 from their allotted 44 overs. Devon Allen was the mainstay of the innings, hammering four fours and the same amount of maximums in a fine knock of 85 while national under – 19 batsman Adrian Hinds (31) supported. The in-form Aryan Persaud (2-31) along with Yohance Angoy (2-44) and Darius Andrews 2-40, led GCC’s bowling effort. However, the hosts, in their reply, were routed for 63 inside 22 overs with Clarke bamboozling the batsmen to end with figures of 6-14 and carry his side over the line.
