Ogle slams ton in Demerara’s Inter-County win
Demerara skipper, June Ogle, slammed a century to steer her side to a record breaking victory over an inexperienced Essequibo outfit in the opening match of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Women’s Inter-county competition yesterday at the Everest Cricket Club ground.

Ogle pillaged the Essequibo’s bowlers for an undefeated 162 off 137 balls as her team amassed a mammoth 364-2 in 50 overs. Essequibo were skittled out for a paltry 17 runs in 11.3 overs as eight batters failed to score.
Discarded West Indies player, Ogle, was involved in three century partnerships and recorded the highest individual score at this level. She shared an opening stand with Latoya Smith (45) worth 105, then with Odessa O’Neil (42) for 102 and the highest third wicket partnership (at this level) of 156 runs with Kamita Yadram (52).
Ogle struck 14 boundaries.
Sheniegh Calvan, 1-81 from her 10 overs and Mayon Boson 1-65 from 10 overs were the pick of the bowlers for Essequibo.
Essequibo batters looked lost in their response. Extras top scored with eight, while Daveena Gooberdan (4), Natoya Elexy (3) and Amrita Mohabir were the only batters to trouble the scorers.
Pacer Akaze Thompson with 3-51 led Demerara, while Leema Harris, Hema Singh and Smith claimed two wickets each.
The competition continues today at the same venue with Essequibo set to face Berbice from 9:30a.m.
