Third day washed out without a ball being bowled

THE third day’s play of the final round of the GCB Inter-County four- day cricket tournament was washed out yesterday at Bourda without a ball being bowled
At Lunch on day two Essequibo were 28-2 replying to Demerara’s 430-7 declared before rain stopped play for day.

If there is play on today’s final day, Demerara, one point behind Essequibo, will need to get at least four wickets to go past Essequibo and retain the title they won in 2014, the time local cricket at level was played.

Yesterday, although there was hot sun after lunch, the damage was already been done as overnight and morning showers created puddles on several sections of the ground.

Today, Demerara would hope for some play today to prevent Essequibo from lifting their first Trophy at this level. (Sean Devers)
