The Port Mourant Cricket Ground will come alive today, Saturday, August 26 with some exciting junior cricket, as the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) hosts the final of the long-awaited BCB/Minister Zulfikar Mustapha Under-15 tournament.
The grand final is expected to be an exciting one with several of the county’s top Under-15 players in action for Port Mourant and Albion. The match will start at 09:30h local time and executives of the BCB are expected to be present to supervise.
BCB President Hilbert Foster stated that the final of the tournament, which started in 2021, was delayed owing to several factors, but the BCB decided to host it at this point, using the current date of birth for this year’s competition.
The last final was recently played at the Area H Ground, with Rose Hall Canje defeating Rose Hall Town to emerge as champions.
