Raj Singh Insurance Brokers has lent its support to the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) for the 2015 Under-19 Inter-County 3-Day Competition which bowls off today.
According to a press release from the GCB which reached this publication yesterday afternoon, the insurance company has partnered with the GCB over the years for various competitions and is proud to be associated with the U-19 age group this year.
This year’s U-19 3-Day and 50-Over Competitions will see a selected Guyana U-17 squad competing as the fourth team. This move is to prepare the players for the regional U-17 Competition. The GCB believes the U17’s involvement will boost their mental strength and give them a lot of confidence.
The first round of the 3-Day contest is from today to Thursday with Berbice and the Guyana U-17 in action at the Wales Community Centre ground, and Demerara and Essequibo at the Everest cricket Club ground. The second round will be from April 12 -14 with Demerara and Berbice clashing at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground and Essequibo and Guyana U-17s clashing at the Demerara Cricket Club ground.
