The Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) last Thursday launched their inaugural Over-40 T20 competition for sub-association affiliate teams. Eight teams from across Demerara will be vying for top honors. The format will see two teams from each area (Georgetown, East Bank Demerara, East Coast Demerara and West Bank Demerara) playing each other once in the preliminary round, scheduled to bowl off on October 25.
The launch was held at the Georgetown Cricket Club pavilion by president of the DCB Raj Singh.
Matches will be played every Friday at 13: 00h for eight weeks and to make the games more interesting, each player, except the wicketkeeper, is required to bowl two overs.
Meanwhile, it is intended that a strong Demerara team would be selected at the end of the tournament to oppose their counterparts from the other two counties at a later stage.
The tournament will be sponsored by Raj Singh Insurance Brokers and Trophy Stall.
