The Demerara women’s team yesterday crushed their Essequibo counterparts by 185 runs in the opening encounter of the Guyana Cricket Board’s Senior Female Inter-County 50-over competition which bowled off at the Malteenoes Sports Club ground on Thomas Lands, Georgetown.

Demerara who batted first, had their winning foundation laid through the individual brilliance of Mandy Mangru (81 off 82) and skipper Cherry-Ann Fraser (68 off 52) while Latisha Jordan (4-16) and Nya Latchman (4-25) turned in lethal spells in a crushing victory.
