Play in the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) organised Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club/Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) Region Six Inter-Secondary School cricket tournament continued recently with several schools victorious.
The tournament is being played between 17 Secondary schools in the region and forms part of the BCB’s structured development programme for youth players. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC) is also using the tournament to promote its Say No to Drugs, Suicide, Crime, Alcohol and Tobacco Message in Schools.
This tournament started five years ago but was limited to teams in the Lower/Central Corentyne area. This year, the tournament has been expanded to all Secondary Schools in Region 6 and hopefully in 2020, would include schools in Region 5.
