Albion Cricket Club (ACC) and Rose Hall Town Farfan & Mendes (RHTF&M) pulled out all the stops in their respective semi final matches en-route to the final of the Tenelec Inc. Under-15, two- innings competition in Berbice.

Enjoying home advantage, Albion arrested Police by four wickets. Police batting first was bowled out for 90 in their first innings; Malcolm Mickle led with 33. Doing the damage with eth ball for Albion were fast bowler Vevakand Jagit 5 for 4 with off spinners Matthew Hardyal and Rishi Sookram snatching 2 for 12 each.

Police batting a second time did not fare much better than the first innings and was all out for 97; Anderson 45 and Sinclair 20 the leading run getters. Asif Ally picked up 5 for 34 and Sookram 3 for 16 for Albion.
Pursuing a target of 85 for victory, Albion slid to 45 for 6 and in danger of losing but Hardyal came to the rescue with an unbeaten 42 to guide his team to victory backed up by Manoj Kasinauth, 5 not out. Sinclair had 2 for 15 and Anderson 2 for 23.
At Rose Hall Town, RHTF&M got past Edinburgh by 19 runs. Rose Hall Town made 112 in their first innings; Kelon Anderson stroked N.O* Junior Sinclair 31. For Edinburgh leg spinner Wazir Latif collected 5 for 21 and off spinner Videsh Mangra 4 for 52.
