A rain-affected game saw the entire day three and a large portion of day two washed out, but Demerara made up for lost time with a dominant bowling display on the final day to secure victory and the title. The other match between Berbice and the Select XI ended in a draw. Below are the summarised scores At GCC ground, Bourda: Demerara 430-7 from 93.3 overs (Akshaya Persaud 127, Raymond Perez 84, Ronaldo AliMohamed 63, Sachin Singh 57, Chandrapaul Hemraj 33; Ricardo Adams 4-128, Malcolm Hubbard 2-83) vs Essequibo 175 all out from 39.3 overs (Ricardo Adams 84, Quentin Sampson 29, Malcolm Hubbard 24; Richie Looknauth 4-3, Ashmead Nedd 4-60, Christopher Barnwell 2-35) and 192 all out from 40.3 overs (Ronaldo Renee 49, Ricardo Peters 44; Steven Sankar 4-32, Richie Looknauth 3-45, Akshaya Persaud 2-37) Result: Demerara won by an innings and 63 runs At Everest: Select XI 141 all out from 60 overs (Zeynul Ramsammy 39*, Kelvin Umroa 26, Jonathan Rampersaud 25; Junior Sinclair 6-37, Keyon Sinclair 2-31, Nigel Deodat 2-35) and 131 all out (Malcolm Mickle 5-26) vs Berbice 162 all out (Alex Algoo 74*, Kwesi Mickle 30; Dave Mohabir 3-21, Mavindra Dindyal 2-9) and 70-3 (Rampertab Ramnauth 34*) Result: Match Drawn
