a match haul of 10-80 on one of the better pitches at a local ground, to hand Lower Corentyne an emphatic innings and 122-run victory with almost a day and a session to spare in the first round GCB Jaguars three-day League against Essequibo which ended yesterday at the Tuschen Community Centre ground on the East Bank of Essequibo.
Scores: E’bo 101 & 159, L/C’tyne 382
Resuming on their overnight 173-2 with Foo on 106 and Gajanand Singh on 25, the Berbicians scored quickly and added 182 for the third wicket as they put their foot on gas from the word go before Foo was LBW to Anthony Adams at 246. The pugnacious right hander batted for 205 minutes, faced 93 balls, reached the boundary 13 times and cleared it on 11 occasions.
Nestled in an agricultural setting, the ground produced a wonderful atmosphere for a local encounter
