Weather forces indefinite delay of finals

GCB/Hand-in-Hand 50 Over Inter-County U-19 finals

– alternative date to be announced

Rain ravished the city this past weekend, forcing the highly-anticipated finals between Berbice and the Under-17 XI Select to be pushed to a future date, which will be announced in the near future.
After Saturday’s proposed date was called off without a ball being bowled, the contest was pushed to Sunday, April 29. However, with the imminent May/June rainy season, overnight and morning showers have left the Lusignan Community Ground unplayable, thus resulting in the GCB confirming via release that the match will now be pushed to an unconfirmed date.
Berbice and a National U-17 team have battled and clawed their way through some stiff competition in order to reach the finals. Berbice will rely on their in-form players, the likes of Alex Algoo, Junior Sinclair, Kelvin Umrao, Kevlon Anderson and Kevin Sinclair, among others.
National youth and Windies’ ex U-16 skipper, opener Singh, and his team of young players have been showing glimpses of something big coming in the near future. The U-17s’ will want much from Singh, Nigel Persaud, Mavendra Dindyal, Andre Seepersaud, Seon Glasgow and Marvin Prashad — all of whom have been making starts, and are capable of winning matches for their team.
As a result of the weather, the teams will now have some extra time — until the finals are announced — to get organized ahead of the final encounter.
