2025 GCB Senior Women’s T20 inter-county tournament Round 1
Kaieteur Sports – Berbice and Essequibo recorded resounding wins yesterday as T20 action bowled off across the East Coast, following a good 50-Over tournament.
Berbice beat Hinterland Women by 94 runs
Batting first, Berbice posted a decent 139-6 from their 20 overs, with a whopping 44 extras being gifted to them courtesy of the still learning Hinterland bowling attack.
Demerara captain Kaysia Schultz copped the MVP award despite the loss.
The Ancient County top-order had a good batting innings, with opener Sheneta Grimmond leading with 26 off 27 (3×4).
Fellow opener Tiea Isaacs (16), Sherica Campbell (13), Crystal Durant (17) and 15 not out from Daniella Hicks, helped steady the Berbice batting.
Kelcy Couchman (1-17), Feona Benjamin (1-23) and Grazil Thomas (1-22) had reasonable spells for the Hinterland Women, who were mowed down for 45 all out in just 13 overs.
Only Tifeny LaRose (12) got a start, with Kianna Leach snaring an impressive (4-3), as Grimmond (2-7) and Durant (2-6) chipped in some wickets.
Essequibo beat Demerara by 5 runs
Tramaine Marks (20), Shonette Belgrave (22), Laurene Williams (18) and Annestecia Vanezula (18*) carried Essequibo to 101-7 after 20 overs.
Demerara skipper Kaysia Schultz spun her way to the match MVP award for her 4-16, with a bit of help from Tilleya Madramatoo (2-15).
The Essequibians then continued from where they left off after winning the Super50 title, by restricting Demerara to 96-7 in their 20 overs.
Madramatoo led with 20 while Schultz scored 17 and opener Naomi Barkoye (14), as Demerara found themselves short.
