Guyana Jaguars all-rounder Christopher Barnwell displayed his perpetual best yesterday, grabbing 6-16 and stroked a flowing century to hand the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) first day honours over the University of Guyana (UG) in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA), GISE, Star Party Rental and Trophy Stall first-division, two-day competition at DCC.

DCC after bundling out UG for 94 just before lunch, made 301 when the 10th wicket fell moments before stumps. UG, batting a second time, ended the day on 0-0, trailing by 207 runs heading into the second day. 

Barnwell, who was the focal point of the day, was in full flow as he smacked 134 with 11 fours and 10 maximums in his flourishing century before he was dismissed by Pavendra Persaud (3-11).
