National youth wicket-keeper batsman Shamar Yearwood yesterday struck his maiden century to hand host Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) first innings honours over Bel Air Rubis in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Noble House Seafoods second-division, two-day tournament. 

Bel Air, at the start of the day, won the toss and elected to bat. They were skittled out for 104 in 19.3 overs with national under 19 duo Qumar Torrington (4-39) and Daniel Mootoo (4-36) leading the rout.

DCC, in response, ended the day on 243 – 6, to earn first innings points and a 139-runslead heading into the final day.
