Opener, Khush Seegobin, spanked 47 with 6 fours and three sixes, missing out on a half-century but more importantly shared a 62-run stand alongside his partner Kishawn Silas who chipped in with a rock-solid 31 off 69 balls with just a pair of fours.
West Demerara’s Tashant Argyle, who scored 30-odd earlier, grabbed 1-8, along with Amrit Persaud (1-15) and Navendra Sankar (1-41).
Meanwhile, at LBI East Coast handed Upper Demerara Cricket Association a 9-wicket defeat, after keeping the latter to 102 all out.
Nathan Bishop (33) and Tyric Henry (25) shared a middle-order half-century stand but nothing else came from the young team.
