GCB/Igloo Ice Cream Under-17 Inter county championships
On Saturday the final round of Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Igloo Ice Cream Under17 was washed out due to heavy rainfall in and around the city on Friday night and Saturday morning.
The Ancient County side, Berbice was down to play archrivals Demerara at the renowned Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) Ground, Bourda while Essequibo were scheduled to take on a select national U-15 unit at the Everest Cricket Club Ground. However, both venues were inundated due to heavy overnight rain on Friday and early morning rain on Saturday.
The middle at the world famous GCC ground Bourda was completely covered
Up to press time it was not confirmed if the final round matches would be replayed. Nevertheless if they are not replayed then Berbice will emerge winners and dethrone 2016 champions Demerara, who performed poorly in the tournament, narrowly winning against the National Under 15 select and losing to Essequibo.
Berbice is the only team that has played unbeaten.
Calls to GCB TDO Colin Stuart to enquire if the matches will be replayed or otherwise proved futile.
The following is the point standing after the second round: Berbice 18.5 ( 2 batting points and .5 fast bowling points)/ Essequibo 10.1 (1 batting point and 11 fast bowling points)/ Dem 8.3 ( .3 fast bowling points)/ Guy U15 Select X1 (.6 fast bowling points).
