BCB U-17 semis set for this weekend

The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) will have a packed weekend with the Under-17 semi-finals to be played at Port Mourant and the Rose Hall Canje Community Centre (RHCCC).
Port Mourant will host Tucber Park, while Rose Hall Canje will host Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club.
Additionally, on February 8, the Ivan Madray Memorial T20 First Division final will be played at 13:00h between Albion Community Centre Ground and Tucber Park Cricket Club. That T20 fixture will be played at the historic Albion Community Centre Ground and will be a heavyweight clash.
The defending champions, Tucber Park, will rely on the youth of Garfield Benjamin, Micah Amsterdam, and Tomani Caesar, among others. Nial Smith will also be a key figure for Tucker Park.
Albion will rely on their veterans, once available. The likes of Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo, and Anthony Bramble will be at the forefront of Albion’s attack.
The controversial BCB First Division two-day final between Young Warriors and Rose Hall Town will be played at Young Warriors at a date to be announced. The male Under-19 inter-club competition will be played from Saturday, February 7.
According to the board, there is a new eligibility date: players must be born on or after August 31, 2007. The Under-19 inter-county is scheduled to start before the Under-17 inter-county on the GCB’s tournament schedule for 2026.
Meanwhile, the female inter-secondary schools tape ball competition is set for Friday, February 27, 2026. The BCB First Division 50-over round-robin tournament is scheduled for late February.
The first week in March will then see the Anil Lalsa Second Division countywide 40-over competition. The BCB Under-17 inter-club competition allows players born on or after August 31, 2008, to feature.
The BCB inter-club Under-16 tournament is in its final stages, with quarter-finals to be played shortly, while the ongoing Lalsa Second Division countywide competition will be completed in February.
