Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)/New Building Society second division 40-over tournament after recording convincing victories in their semi finals games yesterday.
At Malteenoes SC, TSC defeated Demerara Cricket Club by 43 runs. Batting first, TSC rattled up a respectable 224-8 off their allotted 40 overs. Devon Nandan struck 56, Azeem Azeez hit 35 (3×4,2×6) and Joshua Wilson 29 (3×4). Nandan, who hit two fours and three sixes, shared in a 93-run fourth wicket stand with Wilson after TSC slipped to 54-3, losing Ryan Hemraj (17), Charwayne McPherson (15) and Sunil Singh (13). Dennis Squires claimed 3-27.
DCC were bowled out for 188 in 39 overs in reply. Kemol Savory stroked 59 off 71 balls with one four and a six. He and Raymond Perez added 34 for the opening stand before Perez was dismissed for 12 off 28 balls. Savory then featured in a third wicket stand of 56 with Andrew Gibson who made 20 to keep DCC in the hunt.
Following the dismissal of Gibson, Savory and Squires shared in a third wicket stand of 29, but after they were dismissed in quick succession, the rest of the batting showed little resistance against steady bowling by TSC.
