BCB Tenelec Under-15 tournament bowls off on Friday at venues across the county

The Guyana Cricket Board is expected to bowl off its inter-county tournaments in late January with the hosting of the under-15 tournament. The Berbice Cricket Board is therefore pushing ahead with its preparation for the tournament.

The BCB launched its preparation earlier in November with the hosting of a series of social skills seminars and min cricket academies across the county. The preparation would now intensify with the hosting of the BCB/Tenelec Inc Under-15 tournaments involving approximately 16 teams.

The teams in the tournament, which would be played 50 overs per side, are Paradise, Achievers, Cotton Tree, Bath, Bush Lot United, Edinburgh, Guymine, Tucber Park, Kendall’s Union, Mt Sinai, Rose Hall Canje, East Bank Blazers, Albion, RHT Farfan and Mendes Ltd, Port Mourant and Upper Corentyne. The teams have been divided into four zones, and two teams from every zone would advance to the quarter finals.

The BCB has made it quite clear that players above the age of 12 years shall be vaccinated, and the tournament would be played under very strict COVID-19 guidelines.

The tournament is being sponsored by overseas-based Guyanese Bobby Deonarine and his company Tenelec. The BCB would use the tournament to select a training squad of 30 youths for trials later in the year. Matches in the first round are:
