GDF crush the Ace Warriors by nine wickets

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) crushed Ace Warriors in a 9-wicket win at the Queen’s College Ground yesterday when the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) 2-Day 2nd Division Championship resumed.

After being inserted to bat by the Warriors on Saturday, the army men posted 266/9 declared in their first innings, led by opener Rockael Reddy’s 90-ball 84 (4sx12, 6sx3) and Keith Simpson’s 67 (66 balls, 4sx8, 6sx3). For the Ace Warriors, Trevon Boston led the way with 3-28 (4 overs), while Junior Phillips had 3-37 (8 overs).

In reply, the Ace Warriors collapsed spectacularly to be bowled out for a paltry 78. Only Damana Thomas (16), Navindra Ramnauth (16), and Robert Davis (10 not out) managed double-digit scores as Keith Simpson ran riot with 6-27 (8 overs).
