In steaming hot conditions at the MYO ground, Ace Warriors defeated Positive Foundation by 213 runs in the latest round of the Georgetown Cricket Association’s (GCA) New Building Society (NBS) 40-over second division tournament.

Led by Nkosi Whyte’s 80 from 84 balls with 13 boundaries, Ace Warriors made it to 254 in 36.2.
Whyte, who batted in a positive manner, shared in an 81-run partnership for the first wicket with Roger Aaron who was the silent partner, scoring 19 from 31 balls with one solitary six.
After Aaron was bowled by Idris Allen, Terrence King joined the well-set Whyte as both batters were willing to play their shots on the small ground.

Allen struck again when he trapped King LBW for 17 with two fours at 134-2 with Whyte dominating the 56-run stand.
Dequan Murray blasted a quick-fire 23 from just 16 balls and reached the boundary once and cleared it three times as he and Whyte, who reached his 50 with a confident cover drive, put together 31 before Murray was LBW to Sherwin Whyte.

Ganesh Lall had his stumps disturbed in the same over for a duck to leave Ace Warriors on 167-3
Whyte kept going while Junior Phillips also went after the bowling before Whyte, when in sight of a century, was run out.
Trevor Boston (12) was bowled by Sherwin Whyte with Shawn Thomson picking up the last two wickets as Phillips ran out of partners, finishing unbeaten on 32 from 21 balls with two fours and three sixes.

Sherwin Whyte had 3-41 while Joel Gilkes (2-64), Thomson (2-56) and Allen (2-41) were the other wicket-takers for Positive Foundation from Agricola who were bundled out for 41 from 12.5 overs as only Neil Hutson (10) reached double figures.
Murray had 4-6 and Lall took 4-13. (Sean Devers)
