The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) has clarified that no decision has yet been made regarding the outcome of the two-day semi-final clash between Young Warriors Cricket Club and Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC), which ended in a draw with no first innings result.
In a statement, the BCB’s Competitions Committee emphasised that discussions are ongoing and a final decision will only be made after a meeting with both clubs, which is expected to be held shortly.
The match, played at the Young Warriors ground, was a high-scoring affair that saw three hours of play lost to rain, affecting the possibility of an outright result.
At the close of play on the final day, Young Warriors were 360 for 9, valiantly holding on in pursuit of RHTYSC’s 403 for 8 declared.
For Rose Hall Town, Kevin Sinclair produced a superb innings of 175, supported by Junior Sinclair (51), Javed Karim (44), and Kevlon Anderson (40). Bowling for Young Warriors, Shimron Hetmyer and Trevon Stanislaus each claimed two wickets.
In reply, Young Warriors mounted a spirited effort, led by Seon Hetmyer’s century (106) and Suresh Dhanai’s unbeaten 61. RHTYSC’s bowling was shared among Matthew Pottaya, Junior Sinclair, and Keith Simpson, who each took two wickets.
With both teams displaying strong performances and no first-innings advantage established, the BCB will now determine the way forward for the competition once consultations with the clubs are completed. (G-4)
