First class player Trevon Griffith unleashed a brutal assault on the Gandhi Youth Organization (GYO) bowlers yesterday and recorded a swashbuckling century which guided hosts the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) to 291-7 in 37 overs at stumps on the opening day of weekend’s lone GISE/Star Party Rental/Trophy Stall first-division, two-day fixture.
After play in the first two sessions was stalled due to rain, DCC came out all guns blazing in the final session.
Openers Raymond Perez (25) and Joshua Persaud (31) began the assault before Griffith came to the party and laced six fours and 11 sixes in his knock of 129.
The left-hander, who played a few enterprising reverse-sweeps shared in a 168- run stand with skipper Christopher Barnwell who made 85 with five fours and the same number of sixes.
Following both men’s dismissal, the host slipped from 270-3 to 287-7 before Steven Sankar and Carlton Jacques took their side to the close.
Left-arm spinner Trevon France was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors and has so far taken 3-107 from 16 overs.
