DEMERARA Cricket Club (DCC) delivered a commanding performance, securing the Pepsi-sponsored Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) First-Division 50-over title with a comprehensive 100-run victory over Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) at Bourda on Saturday.

DCC’s victory was built on a solid batting display, posting a competitive 227 all out in 44.5 overs.

Brandon Jaikaran anchored the innings with a composed 53, while Christopher Barnwell (43 not out), Jonathan Van Lange (39), and Sachin Singh (31) provided crucial contributions.

GCC’s Devon Lord (4-27) led a spirited bowling effort, supported by Yeudistir Persaud (2-30) and Krsna Singh (1-33).

However, GCC’s response faltered under pressure. Their batting lineup struggled to build partnerships, ultimately collapsing to 127 all out in 29.1 overs.

Thaddeus Lovell (47) offered a lone resistance, with Navindra Persaud (26) and Deonarine Seegobin (12) providing minimal support.

DCC’s bowling attack proved too potent, dismantling the GCC innings with disciplined performances. Ezekiel Wilson (3-20) led the charge, supported by Daniel Mootoo (2-22), Jonathan Van Lange (2-25), and Steven Sankar (2-29).

GCC will look to make amends in the ongoing Dave West Indian Inc.  50-over tournament, while DCC will be hunting for another title.
