GCB announces U19 teams as tournament bowls off tomorrow

Under-19 players from across the three counties of Guyana, who were unable, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, to compete in the previously-planned Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/Hand-in-Hand Under-19 Inter-County Tournament for 2020, will now be afforded the opportunity of competing against each other from Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at the LBI Ground.
Round one of the tournament will witness Demerara competing against the Cinderella County, Essequibo on Wednesday, February 10. Round two will see Essequibo taking on the Ancient County, Berbice on Friday, February 12, while on Sunday, February 14, 2021, Demerara and Berbice will battle in the final round of the round-robin tournament. The matches involving Essequibo are tentatively scheduled to commence at 08:45h to facilitate travel, while the Sunday match is scheduled to begin from 09:15h.
