Guyana Harpy Eagles Trial match

Left-handed batsman Akshya Persaud showed grit and determination with his unbeaten half-century on the first day of the Guyana Harpy Eagles trial match, under clear skies at the beautiful Albion Community Centre Cricket Ground.

The small but vocal gathering welcomed the return of competitive cricket in Berbice as Team Johnson’s XI ended the slow day on 188-7 in 91 overs. Persaud top-scored with an unbeaten 54 from 152 balls while a returning Clinton Pestano stood tall for his unbeaten 24 from 71 balls.
