Upper Corentyne beat Essequibo by 23 runs to score first win despite Paul’s ton

Upper Corentyne held their nerve to squeeze out a 23 run victory over Essequibo despite a brilliant century by West Indies U19 all-rounder Kemo Paul, in their fifth round Jaguar Franchise cricket match being played at the Port Mourant Cricket Ground.

Paul, the West Indies U19 vice-captain, had a good all round game and showed his class why he was one of the stars of the winning West Indies U19 squad.

However, despite his 115 which included 13×4 and 2×6 and 39(3×4) from the veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Essequibo needing 248 for victory were bowled out for 224. Anthony Adams made 31(2×6, 1×4).
