AN enterprising 151 from 14-year-old captain Lomar Seecharran and 5-18 from leg-spinner Makai Dowlin powered Demerara to an emphatic 258-run victory over the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Select X1 in the second round of the GCB U-16 Inter-County 50-over tournament yesterday at the LBI Ground on the East Coast of Demerara.
The left-handed Seecharran has been in ominous form and belted 17 fours and four sixes in a magnificent 124-ball 151 before he retired out at 280-3 in the 37th over.
The TSC and National U-13, 15 and 17 wicketkeeper-batter shared in a 101-run stand with Aaron Narine, who contributed 31 with five boundaries, before being bowled by Shaker Ramesh in the 15th over.

Ramesh also trapped Ishaj Harricharran for a duck to be on a hat-trick.
Seecharran continued to execute several disdainful shots and added 179 with Nathan Bishop before the former retired.
Bishop’s 67 included six fours and lasted 57 balls before he was run out at 285-4, but Afraz Khan, unbeaten on 31 with four fours and 44 extras, contributed to the huge total.
Ramesh had 2-57 for the GCB X1, who slipped from 62-2 to 106.
In brilliant sunshine, Khan removed Tufan Chanderpaul (8) at 19-1 before Ramesh (8) fell at 32-2 in the 10th over.
Only Solomon Hercules (22) and Guntam Dhanraj (12), reached double figures before both were removed by fast bowler Somesh Boyer, who finished with 2-24
Dowlin then befuddled the batters as he ripped through the line-up like a knife cutting butter to give his team back-to-back wins.
After a rest today, the action resumes tomorrow with defending champions Berbice facing Demerara and Essequibo taking on the GCB X1.
Berbice beat Essequibo in the other match at Lusignan.
