The victorious Essequibo U13 team

The Essequibo team endured a few hiccups as they lost wickets at regular intervals but it never kept them out of the contest as they clawed their way back to victory.

Their batting revolved around top-scorer Lall who had 41 at the top of the order, which helped his side to reach 118 all out in 37.4 overs, after losing a few key batters.

Mark Daniels (10) and Usain Fredericks (11) were the other two players to reach double digits as Brandon Henry again was the instrument of destruction with figures of 4-12 with Makai Dowlin grabbing 3-22.

Essequibo then turned on the pressure as they sought to defend a low score and they pulled it off with relative ease after keeping Demerara to 103-9 by the time 40 overs had expired.

Demerara’s only hope amidst their 4 run outs, was Reyad Latiff (22) who was one of the unfortunate victims of poor communication between the wickets and a spirited knock of 10 not out from Dowlin, as not much was offered by their teammates who were unable to reach double figures.

Bowling for Essequibo saw Lall returning to capture 3 wickets for 3-19 while Etan Silas and Makayan Holmes supported with a wicket each to help their side seal a huge win.

Lall, for his runs and wickets was adjudicated the Player-of-the-match. Demerara for their good effort, were given the runners-up trophy.
