The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) continued its distribution of taped-ball cricket gear to schools across the county with Assistant Secretary, Ameer Rahaman and executive, Gregory Crandon, handing over bats and tape balls to fifteen schools in the New Amsterdam area.

The board, for this year, has assisted over sixty primary schools with almost a half a million dollars’ worth of cricket equipment as part of its developmental programme. Among the schools were Sandvoort Primary, Locaber Primary, St Therese Primary, New Amsterdam Primary, All Saints Primary and St Aloysius Primary. The board has started to host primary school taped ball competition at the inter zone level leading to an overall Berbice championship.
