Varounie Sasepaul who was dropped at first slip in the second over bowled by pacer Zaheer Mohamed before he had scored led with 37 (1×6, 2×4), while Essequibo u-19 player Seon Venture, who was also given a life off Mohamed when on 10, supported with 35 (1×6, 3×4), and Vickram Ramnarine, who hit three sixes in the final over, chipped in with 23.
The Jaguars who began their reply cautiously eventually won the game in 14.4 overs.   Nokta Moses a former Essequibo u-15 player hit five fours and two sixes in a top score of 57 as Venture picked up 3-11 and Ramnarine 2-10.
At 2:00pm at the said venue, Good Success made light work of Zeelandia winning by 8 wickets. National u-19 player Ricardo Adams was the only batsman that offered any resistance with 23 (1×4,2×6) before he was comprehensively bowled by off spinner Nazeer Mohamed as Zeelandia were skittled out for 67 in 14 overs.
