A beautifully pieced together century from Nkosi Beaton – his second at the club level – sealed an imposing 175-run win for the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) over Queen’s College (QC) in the latest round of the GCA/American Youth Premier Cricket League Under-19 Cricket Competition at the DCC ground yesterday.
The third-round fixture saw DCC being asked to bat and they quickly slipped to 16-3 to find themselves in early trouble. It was from that point that Beaton who laced 13 fours and five maximums, made his mark and along with Garrick Persaud, combined to claw their side out of trouble.
Beaton’s century – 132 – was crucial in a 219-run stand with Persaud, who eased three fours and the same amount of maximums in a knock of 81 to see their side to 280-7 from their allotted overs. Skipper Qumar Torrington blasted 16 from four balls down the order to add to the total.
