THE Demerara Cricket Club registered their third win for the year to finish their U17 campaign on a high note on the last day of the Friends of Cricket U17 100-over cricket competition on Saturday.

The eight-team event ended with the Queenstown team in the top three after three consecutive wins this year.   GCC won the competition.

In their final clash at home against Rubis Bel Air, DCC batted first and scored 254 from 53 overs. Orlando Giddings led the attack with seven fours and five sixes in a top score of 70 (62 balls).

Jaden Campbell also reached a half century. The opener who was more watchful in the middle scored 52 runs (eight fours). Also making their mark was Daniel Mootoo, who scored 38 runs (2X4s, 2X6s).

Rubis were led by Shivand Gosain.  Gosain, who normally spins, was tasked with bowling medium pace for the first time at this level and he excelled. He picked up 4-53 from 7.1 overs.

Andrew Samaroo finished with 3-40 from 11 overs, while R. Samaroo picked up 2-51 from seven overs.

Rubis had a few good starts early, but Rudranauth Kissoon who led the attack with 54, had little support as both Andrew Samaroo (18) and M. Sukhai (19) failed to build on their starts.

In the end, the overs expired and the visitors were left on 147-8.

1. Hudson and E. Wilson, who did the damage in the middle of the innings, finished with two wickets each for the winners.
