BCB launches T20 tourney for Upper Corentyne teams
The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) as part of its development plan had promised earlier this year to organise adequate games to keep the five zones active. Tournaments have already stared in the West Berbice, Berbice River and New Amsterdam/Canje areas.
Mr. Sarfaz Gafoor (centre) hands over sponsorship cheque to BCB Treasurer Anil Beharry in the presence of President Keith Foster.
The Board on Wednesday last unveiled a Twety20 tournament for teams in the Upper Corentyne area that stretches from the No. 43 Village to Moleson Creek.
Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster disclosed that four businesses have combined to sponsor the tournament; they are Sarfaz Photo Studio & Recording Centre, T. Persaud & Sons Business Enterprise, Palace Liquor Restaurant and Larry Car Services.
About 30 teams are expected to be part of the tournament and Foster said that only one first division player would be allowed to be on the roster of each team. The main aims of tournaments being held at the inter zone level are to expose more players while encouraging non-performing teams to lift their standards.
Foster urged teams in the Upper Corentyne to take advantage of the opportunities being presented to them by the BCB. He also announced that a 40 overs and inter school tournaments would be held for the area.
Board Treasurer Anil Beharry expressed gratitude to the four sponsors of the tournament and stated that they 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 tournaments being played and over 150 off the field activities completed for 2012 so far.
President Foster urged all clubs and players to maintain the high standards in Berbice and to always strive for excellence.
Managing Director of Sarfaz Photo Studio & Recording Centre, Mr. Sarfaz Gafoor shared his pleasure at being able to help sponsor a tournament for his peers 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 Board.
The tournament would be played on a knock-out basis and teams are urged to get in contact with the Board on telephone number 333 2375 to register.
