The New Building Society (NBS) Ltd 40-over Second Division Cricket tournament organised by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) continued on Sunday last, although heavy rainfall affected the completion of most of the matches in the second round.
Several matches were completed, and among the teams registering victories were Fyrish, #72 Cut and Load, D’Edward, Scottsburg United, Young Warriors ‘A’, # 70 Spartan CC, Bush Lot Rising Stars and #72 All Stars.
