The Berbice Cricket Board congratulates its female senior team for convincingly defending their title by winning the 2015 Inter County Championship after defeating a poor Essequibo team in the first match and then marching past old rival Demerara in the final game.
In a release from the board, the members said that the team has done the county proud and continues to demonstrate that the Berbice Cricket Board is the most organized one in the country. The board was impressed with the captaincy of West Indies all rounder Shemaine Campbell, the team work and the level of professionalism by the Manager Abena Schultz and Coach Andre Percival and is expecting that the national team will be dominated by Berbicians. Percival was also the coach of the Berbice Under-15 which won the inter county championship earlier in the year.
The BCB promised to make sure that cricket is played at all levels and will soon launch a three day competition for first division teams. 2015 saw the return of School Cricket at the under-17 and under-15 levels after many years. The female winners will be honored by the BCB shortly.
The board also stated that arrangements are in place to get the senior cricketers in camp shortly. They will be joined by the Berbice Under-19 team.
This early preparation is to keep the players fit and ready for the inter-county tournaments. Players who are called and fail to turn up will not be considered for selection for the county. Players will also be added based on performances in club cricket.
