Wicket-keeper/batsman Jason Sinclair was at the forefront of GYO’s second innings, stroking an unbeaten 101, lacing 17 fours and one six. He shared in a 79-run stand with Chris Deonarine (50) who recorded his second half century of the match.
Davindra Lall (3-40) and Panraj Lall (2-60) were among the wickets for Ace Warriors who held on at the end of the day, reaching 128-9 in 39 overs at stumps to secure the draw.
