Essequibo, Berbice face off in today’s final, following huge wins
2025 GCB Senior Women’s T20 inter-county tournament
Kaieteur Sports – The stage is set for the final of the GCB Women’s Senior T20 inter-county tournament today, as Essequibo will be eyeing another championship with the mighty Berbice on their heels, following decisive victories during yesterday’s latest round of action.
Berbice star Plaffianna Millington copped another match award for her exploits with bat and ball.
Playing at LBI Ground, early signs of possible Bad/Mixed weather kept a tight lid on proceedings during game one, as Berbice took little effort to beat Demerara by 7 wickets after their match had almost half the allotted overs shaved.
Demerara could only reach 39-3 when 11 overs ended with Naomi Barkoye (11) and Cianna Barkoye (11) finishing as the leading scorers.
Tramaine Marks snared 5-wickets to help gain momentum heading into today’s final.
Daniella Hicks (2-3) and match MVP Plaffianna Millington (1-7) were the lone wicket-takers for Berbice, who would go onto score 40-3 in inside 10 overs, with Millington returning to score 13 not out alongside Crystal Durant (9*).
The second match featured a bit more entertainment, as Essequibo continued to ride their wave after beating the Hinterland Women by 78 runs.
Essequibo made an imposing 111-4 from 20 overs, thanks to the in-form opener Laurene Williams, who stroked a classy 51 not out off 69 balls including a pair of fours.
Kumarie Persaud (17), Annestecia Vanezula (13) and Analeisa D’Aguair (8*) chipped in as Hinterland skipper Feona Benjamin (1-20) and Grazil Thomas (1-24) proved to be the only threats from the opposition.
Hinterland were then blown away for 33 in 10.1 overs, with Thomas scoring 13 down the order in a losing effort.
Essequibo’s duo of Tramaine Marks, who bagged a magical figure of 5-7 and Persaud who claimed 3-17 with a wicket from D’Aguair (1-6) putting a final nail in the coffin of the Hinterland.
Meanwhile today’s final will see Essequibo gunning back-to-back titles when they play the in-form Berbicians with all the chips on the line, as Action is set to bowl off from 13:00h at the Lusignan Ground. (Clifton Ross)
