AS part of its cricket development programme, the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, M.S, will be arranging a minimum of fifteen cricket tournaments during the year at the Under-15,U- 17 and U-19 levels, as well at the female and second division levels.
As such, the club is inviting cricket clubs in Berbice to officially register their respective teams if they wish to participate in the cricket tournaments.
Club Secretary/CEO,Hilbert Foster, stated that the RHTY&SC is very disappointed with the current situation, whereby the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) is unable to fulfil its mandate due to a court injunction.
Foster also expressed concerns about the state of Berbice Cricket and the lack of investment in the development of new talents.
Foster noted that 16 teams will be involved in the Under-15,U17 and U- 19 tournaments, with the RHTY&SC expected to field three of the 16 teams.
With 13 teams available, clubs have until February 10 to register.
The Under-15 players have to be born on or after the 1st September, 2002; Under-17 players on or after the 1st September 2002, and Under-19 players on or after the 1st September, 1998.
Twelve teams will be involved in several second division tournaments, with two coming from the RHTY&SC.
Only two first division players who have played more than a combined four first division matches (3 days, 50 overs or 20/20) in 2016/2017 shall be allowed to play per team, while Under 19 players born after the 1st September 1998 shall not be considered as first Division players.
All junior team applications must have the names of the players, dateS of birth, telephone numbers and schools attended.
The RHTY&SC will debar any club which provides misleading information.
