Berbice women rocketed to a massive 481-run win over Essequibo women as the senior female 50-over inter-county tournament got underway yesterday at the National Stadium, Providence.
Berbice won the toss and opted to take first strike where they piled on 519 for three in their 50 overs against the inexperienced bowling attack. Essequibo were then rolled over for 38 in 17.3 overs.
