Home Sports BCB Let’s Bet tournament rescheduled to June 15-16
Despite sunny conditions prevailing in Berbice in the latter part of the day, the first round of matches of the BCB Let’s Bet 100 Balls Second Division tournament could not have been played because some of the grounds across the ancient county were not in a state for any match to be played.
Thus overnight and early morning showers played a role in the fixtures being rescheduled to next weekend, June 15-16.
Chairman of the Berbice Cricket Board’s (BCB’s) Competitions Committee, Neil Rudder, has reliably informed this publication that all the matches in both second and first divisions have been rescheduled because of the inclement weather that prevailed over the last weekend and the match readiness of the venues.
Rudder is urging all cricket clubs across the ancient county to get their respective grounds in shape, as cricket will continue this weekend (June 15-16).
This reporter visited the Port Mourant Community Centre Ground and found the outfield wet and the grass at great height. However, the pitch was in good shape. Port Mourant were to host Bush Lot in their fixture, but the match has been rescheduled.
The Let’s Bet Second Division 100 balls tournament is one of the most lucrative tournaments in BCB history, but players under the age of 18 are prohibited from participating. More than 35 matches will be played during the upcoming weekend in this second division tournament that is divided into four zones.
