Cropper, Tain, Fyrish to vie for Future Warriors Tape ball title in Berbice
The Berbice edition of the Future Warriors Tape ball Primary commenced on Saturday and was filled with much excitement and an abundance of talent on display at the Port Mourant Community Centre Cricket Ground.
Of the 12 talented teams, Cropper Primary, Tain Primary and Fyrish Primary are through to Sunday’s finals, to be played at Port Mourant from 09:00h. These teams played unbeaten in the two matches, and to lift the title, one side needs to win two more matches in the tournament powered by ExxonMobil.
In the second round, Fyrish, led by Yuvraj Goberdan with 30 (2x4s;2x6s), were 58-6 in their eight overs, but managed to restrict All Saints Primary to 39-2.
