Rose Hall Town Metro crowned Nand Persaud Female Cricket Champions

– squad for Senior Inter-County commences training
On January 6, 2019, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) completed its 25th tournament in the last six months as Rose Hall Town Metro (RHTM) faced off against West Berbice in an exhilarating match-up in the Ancient County.
The RHTM were crowned champions of female cricket in Berbice as they defeated West Berbice by 110 runs in the final of the Nand Persaud BCB Female Cricket Tournament.
Batting first, Rose Hall posted 170-7 in their allotted 20 overs. Leading the innings were Shabika Gajnabi, who led from the front with a scintillating 68 and Marian Samaroo, who added support with 44. Needing 171 runs to win off 120 balls, West Berbice were faced with a task where the ladies had to attack the ball and needed to score at 8.55 runs per over. Things did not go as planned as the West Berbice side was given the shock of a lifetime when they were restricted to 60-7 in their allotment of 20 overs. Spearheading the bowling attack for RHTM were Erva Giddings and Samaroo, who was adjudged the player of the match. They bagged two wickets a piece to dent the hopes of West Berbice. Both teams and the players of the match received financial prizes.
Coming out of the tournament, female cricketers were selected to commence training for the Senior Inter-County Tournament and reported to the Area H Ground Monday. Members of the squad are: Meliane Henry, Plaffina Millington, Sherica Campbelle, Erva Giddings, Dian Prahalad, Marian Samaroo, Lafona Gilegous, Uma Devi Matadin, Sheneta Grimmond, Shabika Gajnabi, Abigail Kishun, Aleema Arokium, Roshana Lynch, Kimmone Thomas, Kassie Munroe, Sabrina Munroe and Ashley Ramnauth.
