Kaieteur News – The Berbice Cricket Board on Saturday last, continued to create history when it hosted the Premium Asphalt New Amsterdam/Canje/East Berbice Under-19 tournament. It is the first time ever that the BCB is organising tournaments at this level for teams in the sub-zones.

West Indies U-15 player Isaiah Thorne stroked a brilliant century to spearhead Rose Hall Canje to a massive 455 for six from their allotted 50 overs. Known for his bowling skills, Thorne showed his talent with the bat by scoring 129 runs (13×4 4×6).
