Essequibo made light work of Berbice after securing an eight-wicket win on the second day of their second round clash in the Guyana Cricket Board senior inter-county four-day tournament yesterday.

Responding to Berbice’s first innings total of 94 at Enmore Community Centre Ground, Essequibo’s last wicket added just 19 to their overnight score as they were bowled out for 175 in 53.2 overs. Berbice were then contained to 105 all out in 36.2 overs, setting the Cinderella county just 25 runs for victory. Essequibo reached their target in 9.4 overs but lost two wickets.
