BCB 1st Division Two-Day: Second round matches set for this weekend
Kelvin Umroa will be aiming to extend his wickets tally this weekend for Albion
After an enthralling opening round of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) two-day first division tournament last weekend, the second-round matches are slated for August 23 and 24, across Berbice.
Albion and Rose Hall Town are the two teams that recorded authoritative wins against Port Mourant and Police respectively. For this second round, Rose Hall Town drew bye. Skeldon and Albion will lock horns at Skeldon Community Centre Ground while Port Mourant will play Police at Port Mourant.
A double century from national player Junior Sinclair and centuries from Jonathan Foo and Damion Cecil were batting highlights from the opening round. Left-arm spinner Keith Simpson, a former Berbice youth player, had standout bowling figures of 5-13. The likes of Leon Cecil, and Kelvin Umroa were also among the wickets for Albion.
Port Mourant will be aiming to rebound in the second round after a poor batting display against Albion. The lads from Port Mourant were folded for 68 and 107 all out. National player Rampertab Ramnauth and his younger brother Rampersaud Ramnauth will be eyeing big scores to aid Port Mourant’s rebound mission.
