 In the second innings, he scored 29 runs (bettered only by Patrick Evans' 34 runs), before being dismissed by Etwaroo, caught by Amarnauth Ramcharitar.Berbice won the match by nine wickets in what was Essequibo's only first-class match – only the final of the three-team Jones Cup (later the Guystac Trophy) was accorded first-class status, and Essequibo made the final only once, having defeated Demerara in an earlier match.The scorecards of the non-first-class matches played by Essequibo are not available before the late 1990s, and it is therefore uncertain how Alves performed for Essequibo in other matches.
