SENTINEL Security Inc. has come on board with the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) as a partner for the Caricom Championship.

At a simple presentation ceremony held recently, Priyta Rampersaud, manager of the Berbice Branch, said the company is always willing to help the Berbice Cricket Board in its effort to promote the noble game of cricket.
She noted that the company is impressed with the work of the board, hence their willingness to assist whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Speaking on behalf of the BCB, Trevor Ramdeholl thanked the Security firm for its generous donation and promised that the company will enjoy good mileage for its money.
He added that the tournament will be well run with transparency and accountability. Funds from the sponsorship will cover the cost of advertisement, pay for the music and a stipend for the gate attendants.
According to the BCB, proceeds from the Caricom Championship, which will be held on July 5 at the historic Albion Sports Complex, will be used mainly to organise a very important Three-Day cricket competition.
Eight top T20 First-Division teams in Berbice will compete in a 10-over knockout competition with the final of 20 overs to be played under lights for a top prize of $80 000 and a trophy.
The runners-up will receive $40 000 and a trophy with the losing semi-finalists copping $15 000 each. The man-of-the-match in every game will be rewarded. Action will commence at 10:00h.
The participating teams are Upper Corentyne/Skeldon, Port Mourant, Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, Albion, Young Warriors/Rose Hall Centre, Police/Bermine, Blairmont/West Berbice and Bush Lot/D’Edward. The Board said that the teams were selected in such a manner that all the top players in Berbice will be on show.
The BCB is appealing to all cricket lovers in Guyana and in the Diaspora to come on board to further enhance the game in the Ancient County. The Board is also calling on former Berbice players for assistance. Contact can be made on phone numbers 333-2375, 655-4140 or 623-6875.
