– Clayton Lambert $1.5M gears project on tomorrow
The Berbice Cricket Board has hit the road running as it strives to fulfill its promise to host thirty cricket tournaments in 2021 at all levels. The board is inviting interested clubs to register for the BCB/Zulfikar Mustapha Under-15 inter club and the BCB/ Romario Shepherd Under-13 tournaments. The Under-15 tournament is been sponsored by Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha, while West Indies white ball allrounder Romario Shepherd in the sponsor of the Under-13 tournament.
The BCB is expected to start the Under-15 tournament around the 23rd of January as it starts preparation for the 2021 Under-15 inter county tournament which is usually held in mid or late February every year. The cut of date of birth for the Under-15 tournament is the 1st of September, 2006, while the 1st September, 2008 is the cut-off date for the Under-13. Clubs are reminded that they all would be expected to prove their members date of birth if any other club protest against them. Any team that plays an over aged player would be disqualified from the tournament and face a heavy monetary fine. All players are expected to be uniformed in white, while only Berbicians would be allowed to participate in both tournaments. Clubs have until Tuesday 5th of January to register for the Under-15 tournament and mid-February for the Under-13 tournaments.
BCB President Hilbert Foster is urging all clubs in Berbice to get their grounds in order for the 2021 season, which is scheduled to have at least thirty tournaments at the junior, female, senior and school levels. The board intends to play off the semi-finals and finals of the 2019/2020 suspended tournaments along with the 2021 Under-17, Under-19, Under-21 and female tournaments in the first quarter of the year. The historic semi-professional league is also scheduled for the third quarter.
Meanwhile, dozens of Under-15 and Under-17 players drawn from nineteen clubs would benefit from the distribution of $1.5M worth of cricket gears and white uniforms under the BCB/Clayton Lambert Youth players gears project. The gears include bats, batting pads, batting gloves, helmets, wicketkeeping pads and gloves, forearm guards, thigh pads, batting rubbers among others.
The Upper Corentyne Cricket Association and Berbice River Cricket Association would also receive donations of cricket balls and gears. The presentation of the items would be done tomorrow 2nd of January at the Area ‘H’ ground at 3PM. It would launch the BCB list of programmes for 2021. The BCB intends to assist at least 200 youths in 2021 with gears, uniforms, bicycles and educational materials.
