BCB/Perry Gossai Memorial 100 Ball Tourney Several teams advance to next round; Blairmont disqualified; A. Matabeek slams hundred
Play in the first ever Perry Gossai Memorial Second Division 100 Ball Tournament organised by the Berbice Cricket Board with sponsorship from Attorney-at-Law Arun Gossai and the Gossai family in memory of popular West Berbice Attorney Perry Gossai has commenced.
The 11-team competition has seen teams advancing to the third round where they would play each other in a round-robin format. The top two would clash in the grand final.
In first round play, Bush Lot United defeated Paradise Cricket Club, Cotton Tee got past Shieldstown and Bush Lot Rising Star beat Achievers.
Blairmont Community Centre was disqualified from the tournament after the Competitions Committee of the Berbice Cricket Board found them guilty of playing two first division players in their match against No. 5 Hopetown.
Blairmont, according to a Board release, would also be banned from BCB tournaments in 2019 after they gave a walkover to D’Edward Sports Club in their opening match.
