BCB’s cricket season set to commence from June 8

The perpetually hectic cricket season in Berbice was placed on hold upon onset of the rainy season, but will resume from Saturday, June 8th, with the Carib Beer-sponsored 50 Overs’ tournament. The Let’s Bet Sports’ 100 balls tournament and the NBS 40 Overs’ tournament are additional fixtures slated for prompt resumption. The fixtures of these matches will be released during the week.
Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) officials are asking that all cricket venues take shape, and that all four of the zones across the county: New Amsterdam/Canje, Upper Corentyne, Lower Corentyne and West Berbice, get their teams ready to participate.
Among the clubs in West Berbice are Blairmont Community Centre, D’Edward Cricket Club, Cotton Tree Die Hards, and the Archivers. Clubs from the New Amsterdam/ Canje area include Young Warriors, Rose Hall Canje, Tucber Park, Mt Sinai, and Mental Hospital. The Upper Corentyne clubs include Skeldon Titans, Number 72 All Stars, Dukestown and No 64 Fighting Marines; while the Lower Corentyne clubs include the powerhouse teams of Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, Albion, Port Mourant and Courtland.
The outstanding finals for BCB tournaments will also be played shortly, when sponsors set the respective dates. During the coming August holidays, all the youth tournaments will be played.
In the history of the BCB, the Let’s Bet Sports-sponsored tournament is the most successful event in terms of sponsorship attained by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB).
