Berbice are GCB U19 50-Over Inter-County champs for 2025
The Berbice team have clinched the Guyana Cricket Board’s Male Under-19, 50-Over Inter-County Championship title for 2025, since their final game against eventual third-place finishers Demerara couldn’t be completed because of inclement weather.

With the game being reduced to 30 overs per innings, played under lights and in overcast conditions on Thursday at the LBI Community Centre Ground, East Coast Demerara, Demerara won the toss and opted to bat first.
Several batsmen got starts, but failed to deliver a big score. Romeo Deonarain top-scored with 28, while Jonathan Van Lange added 26 and Shiloh Adams added 24.
Kumar Deopersaud was the standout bowler, with figures of 3 for 8 in 4.1 overs.

He was well supported by Afraz Budhoo and Matthew Pottaya, who each took 2 wickets. Salim Khan and Daniel Joseph each took one wicket as Demerara were bowled for 133 in 22.1 overs.
Wavell Allen made early breakthroughs as Berbice batted. Captain Rampertab Ramnauth and the Berbice opening pair were dismissed very cheaply as Demerara made their way back into the contest. However, with the Berbice score at 67 for 5 in 15 overs, the weather intervened and the match was eventually abandoned.
With 11.4 points at the end of the competition, Berbice were declared the winners, while Guyana Cricket Board Select X1 came in second with 11 points. Demerara had to settle for third place with 8.2 points, and Essequibo finished in the cellar with 1.8 points.
