In Zone B at the Wakenaam Community Centre Ground in Good Success, Wakenaam batted first and scored 195-9 after the game was reduced to 35 overs due to rain.  Essequibo wicketkeeper batsman Wayne Osborne top scored with 61 before he was run out while Chandreka Ragnauth contributed 47 and Roopnarine Persaud 23.

In zone A at Queenstown, South took first strike and rattled up 197-5 in another game which was affected by the rain and reduced to 35 overs.  Opener Norman Federicks, who has been named vice captain of the Essequibo four day team, scored 75 while Vijay Surujpaul made 38 and Royan Federicks 23.  Henry Green took 2-30 for Central who were bowled out for 169 in 24 overs in reply.
