Jul 30, 2011 Sports

Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) defeated Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) by 83 runs to win the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) – Banks DIH sponsored Tropical Mist Pee Wee final Thursday at Thirst Park.
Batting first, DCC made 234 off their 20 overs with Captain Shemar DeSouza leading the way with an unbeaten 25 as Aravinda Gainder took 4-6 for GCC who were limited to 151.
The GCC batsmen found it hard to score and once the opening pair were separated they lost wickets frequently and fell out of contention.
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the final was Xaviee Smith of DCC who scored 20 and captured two wickets. DeSouza was voted Best Batsman of The Final with his matured knock of 25 not out.
Roger Harper, President of the GCA thanked Banks DIH for sponsoring the tournament which attracted four teams in Georgetown.
The former Guyana and West Indies all-rounder said that the match was played at a very high standard and he offered congratulations to both finalists.
“The GCA would like to thank Banks DIH Tropical Mist for partnering with us and we look forward to strengthening our relationship in the future,” Harper added.
Banks DIH Communications Manager Troy Peters said the match showcased some talented players who are the future of the game. He thanked the parents for showing interest in their children by attending the match and offering support.
Tropical Mist Brand Manager Errol Nelson presented the prizes to the outstanding players the two competing teams, umpires and the scorer.
Also present at the match were Banks DIH Outdoor events Manager Mortimer Stewart, President of DCC Alfred Mentore and GCA Competitions Chairman Shaun Massiah and Vice President of Cricket Development Neil Barry.
