The 2017/2018 Guyana Cricket Board/ Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society Limited/National Sport Commission/National Secondary School Cricket League (GCB/DMLAS/NSC/NSSCL) continued in the Essequibo District, where Leguan/East Bank Essequibo Combined defeated Bartica/Wakenaam Combined by one run.
Played at the Good Success ground on the Wakenaam Island of Essequibo, Bartica/Wakenaam won the toss, and sent Leguan/East Bank Essequibo to bat first.
Leguan/Essequibo struggled to adapt well to the conditions, as they found scoring challenging on the pitch.
Inform all-rounder Wazim Mohamed was the top scorer with 26, while Ronaldo Schouten and Javal Sahoye each made 10. Bowling for Bartica/Wakenaam, Hamel Lamb grabbed 5 for 24 from 5 overs, while Rickey Persaud supported well with 3 for 21 from 5 overs.
In reply, Bartica/Wakenaam gave a good account of themselves, and looked set to overhaul the Leguan/Essequibo score of 86, with Hamel Lamb producing a valiant batting display in which he stroked 46. However, Lamb failed to get the necessary batting support, stumbling to 85 all out.
Bowling for Leguan/East Bank Essequibo, fast bowler Travis Christian grabbed 5 for 18 from 4.3 overs, while Wazim Mohamed and Javal Sahoye took 2 for 12 and 2 for 23 respectively.
Leguan/East Bank Essequibo won by one run.
