The Albion Community Centre on Sunday is expected to be filled to capacity today when old rivals Albion and Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets (RHTG&G) square off in the final of the 2012 Carib Beer / Berbice Cricket Board Twenty20 tournament.
The two teams have been the dominating forces of the game in Berbice in the past decade, meeting in numerous finals during that period.

RHTG&G’ lone Test player, Assad Fudadin will be the spearhead of his team’s challenge for the title along with Delbert Hicks, Rajiv Ivan, Jason Sinclair, Renwick Batson, Eon Hooper, Dominic Rikhi, Clinton Pestano and Khemraj Mahadeo.
Which ever team handles the pressure better can very well walk away with the top prize. Sharp fielding and containing bowling are attributes that can also separate the two sides; both teams featuring experienced, tested, tried and proven players. Game time is 13:30hrs.
But before the final, Bermine and West Berbice will meet in the third place play off from 09:30hrs.
Bermine will be led by Joemal LaFleur, Stephen Latcha, Keion DeJesus, West Indies female cricketer Tremayne Smartt and Damon Vantul. National pacer Keon Joseph along with Troy Halley, Keith Fraser, Kwesi Mentore and Stephan Adams would spearhead West Berbice challenge in a game too close to call.
