Kaieteur Sports – The Ivan Madray T20 First Division knockout cricket competition for teams in Berbice continued over the weekend.

President of The Berbice Cricket Board Dr Cecil Beharry (right) smiles as he received the sponsorship cheque for The Ivan Madray T20 cricket competition from Mr Chandradat Chintamani.
In a second-round game, Tucber Park defeated Upper Corentyne Cricket Association (UCCA) by 26 runs in the game played at the No 69 Ground.
Tucber Park batted first and made 133 all out in 19.4 overs with Kevin Kisten 43, Joemal La Fleur 21 and Malcolm Mickle 19 being their principal scorers.
Steven Embrack led the bowling for UCCA with four wickets 4, with Devenand Chatterpaul three and Rishi Persaud supporting with one.
In reply, UCCA was held to 107-9 in their allotment of overs with Thameshwar Ram 38, Torran Shivamber 20 and Steven Embrack 17 top scoring.
Bowling for Tucber Park, left arm spinner Gilbert Griffith led the way with three wickets, Joemal La Fleur picked up two and Micha Amsterdam one.
In a first round game, UCCA got the better of West Berbice Cricket Association (WBCA) in a game played at Skeldon.
Results showed that WBCA batted first and were bowled out for 100 in 18.3 overs with Brian Nurse 33, Shamar Angel 30 and Nikel Fraser 27 being their main contributors.
Bowling for UCCA, there were three wickets for Davendra Chatterpaul and Omesh Mathurah, while Steven Embrack picked up two.
In reply, UCCA reached 102 for 8 in 18.4 overs with Rishi Persaud 42, Torend Shivamber 20 and Thameshwar Ramoutar 20 not out top scoring, to win by two wickets. Bowling for WBCA Andrew Dutchin three wickets and Shamar Angel two wickets.
In the event of a washout, the BCB will reschedule the game. Five (5) overs will constitute a match.
In rain interrupted matches, the run rate will be checked, using the score in the current over in progress of the second team and that of the team that batted first, for that same number of overs, to determine a winner.
The Tournament is being sponsored by the Madray and Chintamani families in Memory of the Legendary Ivan Madray, who played two tests of the West Indies in 1958.
Madray, a product of Port Mourant CC was the third Berbician to play Test Cricket for the West Indies.
The BCB through its president Dr Cecil Beharry recently received the sponsorship for the competition from Mr Chandradat Chintamani nephew of the late Ivan Madray.
Dr Beharry expressed profound gratitude on behalf of the BCB. Mr Chintamani, on behalf of his family, was pleased to be associated with the BCB once again.
The competition began in 2018. Albion CC are the defending champion.
