THE Georgetown Cricket Club substantiated their dominance in the 2018-2019 Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Friends of Cricket 100-over cricket tournament after they whipped a GCA Select XI team by eight wickets in a specially-arranged match on Saturday at the Bourda ground.

The home team, which drew once in an unbeaten run during the competition, made light work in their 50-over clash against some of the top U-17 cricketers from the capital city.
The Select team won the toss and took first strike, but they struggled against some quality bowling.

Right-arm medium-pacer Yohance Angoy led the attack early before S. Basdeo in the middle and skipper Zachary Jodah later in the innings, took over.
Jodah spun his way to 3-23 from nine overs, while there were two wickets each for Angoy (2-9 from five overs) and Basdeo (2-23 from six overs).

Lower order batsman Jeffrey Blair, who belted a century in his last U-19 game, led the Select XI with 21 runs (1×4, 1×6), while Alvin Mohabir added 15 (2x4s) which helped to push the score to 92 before the visitors were bowled out in the 38th over.

GCC, in reply, cruised to victory in 23 overs, with West Indies U-16 batsman, Mavendra Dindyal, leading the attack. The opener, who ran well between the wickets, carved out five fours in an unbeaten score of 47 to lead the side to 93-2. He and Rivaldo Phillips (10) added 30 unbeaten runs for the third wicket after Thaddeus Lovell (5) and Rahul Singh (9) had lost their wickets.
After the game, the GCA made the official trophy presentation for the U-17 tournament.
