BCB launches 20/20 Cricket Tournament for Upper Corentyne Teams

Oct 07, 2012 Sports

 

The Berbice Cricket Board as part of its development plan for the Ancient County had promised earlier this year to organise cricket within the five Inter-zones areas for teams. Tournaments have already stared in the West Berbice, Berbice River and New Amsterdam/Canje areas and the Berbice Cricket Board on Wednesday last launched a 20/20 tournament for teams in the Upper Corentyne area that stretches from the No. 43 Village to Moleson Creek.
Chairman of the Berbice Cricket Board Special Events Committee, Hilbert Foster, at the launching ceremony disclosed that four business places have sponsored the tournament – Sarfaz Photo Studio & Recording Centre, T. Persaud & Sons Business Enterprise, Palace Liquor Restaurant and Larry Car Services.   A total of close to thirty teams are expected to be part of the tournament and Foster disclosed that only one first division player would be allowed per team.
The main aims of tournaments being held within the Inter-zone are to expose more talents while encouraging non-performing teams to lift their standards. Foster urged teams in the Upper Corentyne to take advantage of the historic opportunities been presented to them by the Berbice Cricket Board and also announced that a 40-Over tournament would also be held along with an Inter-school Tournament for the area.
Treasurer Anil Beharry expressed gratitude to the four sponsors of the tournament and stated that the Berbice Cricket Board had the full confidence of the Berbice cricketing public. President Keith Foster noted that Berbice was by far the most active sub-association in the West Berbice with numerous cricket tournaments being played on the field and over 150 off the field activities completed for 2012 already. He urged all clubs and cricketers to maintain the high standard in Berbice Cricket and to always strive for excellence.
Managing Director of Sarfaz Photo Studio & Recording Centre, Mr. Sarfaz Gafoor expressed his pleasure at being able to sponsor a tournament in the Upper Corentyne area. Gafoor stated that the sponsorship was approved at the first request because all the sponsors were pleased at the development policies of the Berbice Cricket Board.
The tournament would be played on a knock-out basis and teams are urged to get in contact with the Berbice Cricket Board on telephone number 333-2375 to register.
