The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) historic Raffik Construction 100 Balls tournament for teams in the Lower Corentyne area has re-started after a lengthy delay due to the weather. Kildonan Cricket Club, Chesney and Courtland have advance to the next round of the knockout competition after registering victories over Belvedere United, Jai Hind and Fyrish, respectively.

At the Chesney Ground, 2008 Stanford T20 star Imran Khan rolled back the years to spearhead the home team to an easy 28 run win over neighbours Jai Hind Cricket Club. Khan struck a composed 50 and together with S. Latchana 62 not out led Chesney to 157-6 from their allotted 100 balls. R. Mangali claimed 2-18 from three overs while Adrian Singh, a former Guyana U-15 Captain took 2-19 from three overs. Jai Hind in response was bowled out for 129 in 15.3 overs despite Mangali returning with the bat to top score with 46. Medium pacer Khan took 4-19 and veteran Narine Deonarine 2-21 to lead Chesney to the semifinals.

Kildonan would now play Rose Hall Town Bakewell with the winner going on to play Courtland in the semis. Chesney would play the winner of the Albion and Tamarind Root match.
