At Young Warriors ground, Berbice, Georgetown beat Upper Corentyne by 93-runs

Upper Corentyne’s Shenzia Luke top scored with 15 before MVP Naomi Barkoye grabbed 2-4 to help her side win after they batted first and posted 129-1. Barkoye was also the star as she earlier slammed 58 not out for Georgetown before taking two wickets.

At Young Warriors ground, Lower Corentyne beat East Bank by 109 runs

Home team Lower Corentyne thrashed the visiting East Bank by a whopping 100-plus run due to some fine hitting by opener Julianna Grimmond who top-scored with 42. She was duly supported by Ashley Ramnauth who scored 32 not out to help their side post 123-3 in the 20 overs.

It was a nightmare chase for East Bank, who were mowed down for a hapless 16 as no player made it to double figures, thanks to a magical spell from Jamie Campbell, who grabbed 5 for 6 from 3 overs to seal a comprehensive win.
