DCB congratulates U-19 team

The Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) has congratulated their U-19 team for their emphatic victories in the recently concluded Guyana Cricket Board U-19 Inter-County Three-Day and 50-Over Competitions.
In a release the DCB stated, The team’s performance transcends the game in Demerara and amply demonstrates the talent and ability that abounds in the County, since these victories were achieved under very challenging circumstances.
After experiencing mixed fortunes in the round robin stage of the Three-Day format, the Demerara team completely dominated the final game, winning by an innings and 49 runs against the President’s XI. Then in the 50-Over format, they overcame the GCB President’s XI in their third round which landed them a place in the final where they outplayed the same opponents.
The DCB also recognizes Tagenarine Chanderpaul for his outstanding performances in both competitions. He won both the Best Batsman and Most Valuable Player awards in the 50-Over Contest accumulating 203 runs which included two half centuries, and captured five wickets. In the Three-Day, he scored a century against the GCB President’s XI in the third round.
The DCB further acknowledges and congratulates their U-15 team for winning the GCB Inter-County U-15 Competition last month and trusts that the Under 17 team will follow suit.
The DCB has been a much maligned County Board in recent times, but their hardworking Executive Committee ensures that the teams are well prepared for these competitions.
