Fyrish, Tamarind Root et al victorious in round 1 play

BCB/Premium Asphalt & T/R Construction T20 2nd division tournament…

In furtherance of its very packed schedule for 2020, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) on Sunday last staged the opening round of the Premium Asphalt and T/R Construction 20/20 second division cricket tournament, in which 19 teams from the Lower and Central Corentyne areas are participating.
Berbice cricket powerhouses RHTY&SC, MS, and Albion CC, along with cricketers associated with either team, have been debarred from participating in the tournament in an effort to allow other clubs opportunity to win a championship.
Fyrish, Tamarind Root, Belvedere United, Kennard Memorial, Albion Open and Ramnarine Memorial are the teams to have advanced to the second round of this tournament, while Courtland were knocked out therefrom because an unauthorized cricketer had represented them.
The BCB Competition Committee has also ordered a replay of the match between Rose Hall Town Tigers and Kilcoy after Kilcoy were found guilty of playing a player in non- cricketing attire.
Both Courtland and Kilcoy had won their games, but each have paid the price as the BCB enforced its strict disciplinary rules.
