Kaieteur Sports- The East Bank community is in for a treat this Sunday, December 8, as the semifinals of the East Bank Cricket Association/Soesdyke Premier T10 League take center stage at the Farm Cricket Ground.

On the other end, Uprising Cricket Club tactically dismantled Eccles Sports Club. Eccles managed 98-8 in their allotted 10 overs, with Shiloh Adams contributing a brisk 40 runs.
