Taking first strike, West Demerara were restricted to a relatively small score of 150 by the end of the overs, after Danvir Seegobin bagged 4-15 while seamers Emmanuel Lewis (3-19) and Shane Prince (2-56) had exceptional spells.
WDCA captain, Parmeshwar Ram, led the scoring efforts with a 31-ball 35 with six fours.
Parmeshwar Ram copped the MVP award for his brilliance with bat and ball.
Chasing a target of 150, Georgetown got to their target with 7 over left in the 28th over after Lewis marched to an even unbeaten 50, punching 7 fours.
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.
Bowling for East Coast was led by their captain, left-arm spinner, Arun Gainda, who bagged 4-20, finding help from left-arm pacer, Vijai Kalpu (2-14), and spinner, Kaylon Callendar (2-23).
East Coast opener, Yannick Newton, hammered an unbeaten 51 (7x4s, 2x6s) with support from Munesh Outar (23).
Seamer Ragubeer (1-40) was the lone wicket-taker for Upper Demerara. Following the presentation ceremony, Ram copped the Most Runs award with 192 runs as well as the MVP award for his 8 wickets, ending a fantastic tournament.
