Rain forces another postponement of the BCB fundraiser
Persistent rain over the last few days has forced the Berbice Cricket Board to further postpone their highly anticipated Fundraiser “Caricom Championship 2015”. The tournament will now be played on Saturday August 1, 2015, a national holiday, at the historic Albion Sports Complex.
Proceeds from this event will be used mainly to organise a three day first division cricket competition for teams in Berbice. The board encourages businesses, private individuals and former cricketers/administrators to come on board to help the return of three day first division cricket in the county.
Contact can be made as follows: telephone numbers 333-2375, 655-4140 and 623-6875. Emails can also be sent to abeharry1970@yahoo.com and ros_haniff2001@yahoo.com.
The Caricom Championship will see eight top first division teams in Berbice taking part in a ten over knockout competition with the final of 20 overs to be played under lights for a top prize of $80,000 and trophy. The runner up will receive $40,000 and trophy with the losing finalists $15,000 each. Man of the match in every game will be rewarded. The teams will don coloured clothing and white balls will be used. Action begins at 10:00am sharp with the top Berbice cricketers on show.
Young Warriors/Rose Hall CC/Edinburgh Combined will tackle Upper Corentyne/Skeldon Combined in the opening. Game two will see Albion CC taking on Bermine/Police Combined. Game 3 is Port Mourant vs Bush Lot/D’Edward Combined and Game 4 will see
Blairmont/West Berbice Combined vs Rose Hall Town. The preliminary games will play in a festival format to create nonstop action.
