GNIC scored 219, thanks to Stephen Campbell&#8217;s 62 and Ranole Bourne&#8217;s 49. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transport responded with 286, with Shemar Apple falling just short of a century, scoring 96, and Myhiem Khan adding 40. GNIC struggled in their second innings, managing only 99 runs, with Khan claiming 6 wickets for 31 runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transport reached their target of 32 runs with ease, finishing at 33-1, with Hohenkirk and Apple leading the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Georgetown Cricket and Friends 2-day second division league will continue this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joshua Wade&#8217;s impressive century played a pivotal role in securing a commanding win for the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) over the Diplomats in the Georgetown Cricket and Friends 2-day second&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":22934,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[350,352],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-sports"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22920"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22943,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22920\/revisions\/22943"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
