Local cricket could return to Berbice this weekend

Local cricket in Berbice has been at a standstill due to consistent rainfall across the ancient county.
Weather permitting, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) is calling on all cricket clubs to prepare their respective grounds for hosting BCB fixtures.
The Canada PA are inputting that the Dr Dukhi Under-15 final preliminary games be played on Saturday, July 26. Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club B will take on Albion Community Centre Cricket Club at Area H from 9:00h in the Zone C fixture.

In the other fixture, Rose Hall Canje Community Centre Cricket Club is set to lock horns with Tucber Park Cricket Club at Rose Hall Canje from 9:00h.
The BCB is also advising that the inter-club under-13 competitions will commence next month.
The BCB first division two-day round robin competition which was scheduled to start earlier this year, on April 12-13 but was severely affected by rain, will be rescheduled. The BCB did not propose a new date for the first-division fixtures but will continue to monitor the weather.
The BCB is also in discussion for sponsorship of a 50-over format first-division inter-club tournament.
Additionally, the Anil Lalsa second division county-wide competition will resume as soon as weather permits and grounds across Berbice are fit to play. Since the start of 2025, the Cecil Beharry-led BCB administration has been left uncertain as it relates to hosting cricket.
However, cricket clubs across Berbice commenced their summer academy. The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club and the Rose Hall Canje Community Centre Cricket Club are those to date that started their cricket academy in their respective areas. Since schools are out, more clubs will be taking this pattern to keep the youth actively involved in cricket.
