This senior four day competition will also serve as preparation for the Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) team, prior to the resumption of the West Indies 2023 Championship which is scheduled for March 15.
The re-introduction of the Four-Day format in the GCB’s calendar of activities is a major step for the GCB as these matches will also provide players the opportunity to stake a claim for selection on the GHE team.
Last October, the GCB held the first senior Inter-county tournament after more than a five-year absence when the Super50 tournament was played. Berbice were crowned champions after they defeated Essequibo in the final which was played at Providence. However, the first round of the 2023 senior four-day inter-county championship bowls off at the GNS today.
