The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) as part of its continued efforts to assist younger players in the West Berbice area to understand the importance of playing the longer version of the game, has joined forces with Jumbo Jet Auto Sales to run off a two-day match from Monday at the Blairmont Community Centre, Ground.
