Berbice has dethroned defending champions Demerara to claim the title in the Guyana Cricket Board U-15 Inter-County 50-over tournament. The final match was played on Friday, February 28, 2025, at the LBI ground.
Berbice entered the final as the only unbeaten team in the tournament, having won their previous matches against Essequibo and the Select XI. Their strong performances throughout the competition set the stage for a showdown with Demerara, who were looking to retain their title.
The Berbice team’s success can be attributed to the outstanding performances of their key players throughout the tournament. Richard Ramdeholl, Arif Bacchus, and Rafael McKenzie formed a formidable trio that consistently delivered with both bat and ball.
While specific details of the final match are not available, Berbice’s victory marks a significant achievement, ending Demerara’s reign as champions. This win showcases the depth of young cricket talent in the Berbice region and highlights the competitive nature of youth cricket in Guyana.
The tournament served as a platform for selectors to identify promising players for the Guyana team that will compete in the Cricket West Indies’ Rising Stars Regional Under-15 Championship 2025, scheduled to take place in Antigua in April.
