Guystac Trophy

Guystac Trophy

The Guystac Trophy was a Guyanese First-class cricket match which was played annually between Demerara and Berbice, two former colonies and now regions of Guyana. The only exception came in 1980/81 when a side from Essequibo competed instead of Demerara. The matches were played over a maximum of 4 days but rain caused many games over the years to be drawn.

History

Originally named the Jones Cup, the match was first played in 1971 and became a regular fixture in the West Indian domestic season. For the 1973/74 match they played for the Guyana President's Trophy instead of the Jones Cup and in 1984/85 they competed for the Guystac Trophy for the first time. The match remained the Guystac Trophy until the final fixture in 1989/90 where the two sides competed for the Kenneth Sookram Memorial Trophy.
