The #69 Village would tomorrow come alive when the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) host the semifinals of the 2018 Skyy Vodka T20 Cricket Tournament. It has been a while since top level cricket has been played in the Upper Corentyne area and fans are expected to flock the venue to see two of their team’s battle the two top clubs for a place in the final.
Upper Corentyne would battle Albion Community Centre Cricket Club at 09:30hrs while Skeldon Cricket Club clash with Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets from 13:30hrs. Over the last decade, Albion and Rose Hall Town have dominated but they would have to be at their best tomorrow to get past the two home teams which normally enjoy playing the shorter version of the game.
Albion would be led by West Indies ‘A’ Payer Gudakesh Motie and he would be supported by Jonathan Foo, Kandasammy Surujnarine, Ritesh Umroa, Kevin Umroa, Gourav Ramesh, Antonio February.
The Upper Corentyne Team does not possess any stars but the team is known to play as a unit under the inspirational leadership of the level headed Lakeram Latchman. He will receive good support from Rishi Persaud, Munesh Lallu, Devin Baldeo, Naeem Yacoob and Devendra Budhoo.
Skeldon is well known for their reputation of surprising major teams who under rate them. Players the likes of Junior Blair, Sherain Murray, G. Nauth and Victor Pedro would have to be at their best for Skeldon to have any chance against a rampant Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets, which recently defeated Albion to win the BCB Patron’s Fund T10 title.
A youthful Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets would be led by Shawn Pereira with support from Eon Hooper, Kevin Sinclair, Junior Sinclair, Kevlon Anderson, Jason Sinclair, Keon Sinclair, Sylus Tyndall, Jonathan Rampersaud, Andy Naidu and Vidal Crandon.
BCB President Hilbert Foster is urging fans in the Upper Corentyne area to come out and support. Foster noted that it was the first time in Berbice that two teams from the Sub-Association were able to reach the BCB semifinal stage. This move by the Board continues its effort to play major matches at non-traditional venues in an effort to promote the game. The tournament is being sponsored by Ansa McAl (Guy) Ltd.
