-GCA to decide outcome
A HEAVY shower at around 14:25hrs yesterday afternoon created a premature end to the first semifinal of the Georgetown Cricket Association organized Noble House Seafoods sponsored second division matchup between host Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) and Police Sports Club at Queenstown.Resuming on their overnight total of 94 for 2 with Tevin Imloch and Andrew Gibson on 14 and 12 respectively in reply to PSC’s first innings score of 250, DCC reached 134 for 3 off 47 overs when rain curtailed the action.
Imloch and Gibson stretched their third wicket partnership from 23 overnight to 57, before Imloch was bowled by Pernell London (1 for 10) for 32 (5×4) at 128 for 3, while the heavens opened up six runs later with Gibson on 31 (5×4) and Dexter George 1*, while Vishal Jaigobin ended with 2 for 44.
In an invited comment with Chronicle Sport, Chairman of the GCA’s Competitions Committee Shaun Massiah said an executive meeting will be held from which a decision would be made as to whether the game would be played or who would advance based on the playing conditions.
Teams are asked to note that the final 11 that was declared for this rain interrupted fixture is the one that must take the field for the replayed fixture, barring injuries during the time of the decision being arrived at by the GCA.
