<p>A brilliant all-round performance by Andre Gibson sealed an intense four-wicket win for the University of Guyana (UG) over GNIC in the final round of the New Building Society (NBS) Second Division 40-over tournament at GNIC on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;Gibson, a former Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) player, snared 4-50 and recorded an unbeaten half-century to see his new club over the line.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the script went, GNIC after winning the toss and electing to bat, were dismissed for 202 with the burly right-handed Jermaine Grosvenor leading the way with an attractive innings of 61.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Gibson’s penetrative medium pace did the bulk of the damage for the students as no other batsman reached 30, all failing to capitalise on the small side-boundaries at the GNIC facility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;The seamer was supported by Yakini Favorite (2-26) and Devon Paul (2-37) who shared four wickets.</p>

<p>&nbsp;UG in response reached their target with six wickets down. The success run-chase was spearheaded by Gibson who carved out an unbeaten 53 to carry his side over the line. He was supported by Mahendra Persaud (33); Shane Browne (3-43) was the most successful bowler for the hosts.</p>

<p>The result of the match had no bearing on the semi-final matchups since The Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO), Everest Cricket Club (ECC), Police Sports Club (PSC) and the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) all advanced.&nbsp;</p>
