No result in first match of historic GCB U13 Inter-County tournament

The Round 1 match of the historic GCB U13 Inter-County 40-over tournament was abandoned because of heavy rainfall on Wednesday.
Demerara had been scheduled to face Essequibo at the GCC Ground at Bourda on Wednesday, but that opening round match will now be played on Saturday, after heavy showers rendered the Ground unplayable following the initial opening round.
Thursday’s match will bowl off at 10:00h, weather permitting. Friday’s match will see archrivals Berbice and Demerara doing battle.
This is the first official U13 inter-county competition since last year, when it was badly affected by rain and resulted in matches being played indoors at the National Gymnasium.
This historic Under-13 Inter-County tournament is one of the key plans of the Bissoondyal Singh-led administration’s five-year development plan.
