GCB U-15 Inter-county championship bowls off January 28 in Georgetown

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) is set to bowl off its Male Under-15 Inter-county 50-over competition on Sunday (January 28) with two matches in the city.

Berbice will be led by the exciting talent Adrian Hetmyer, the nephew of West Indies middle-order batsman Shimron Hetmyer and son of former national youth batsman Seon Hetmyer, while Demerara will be captained by another promising batsman Emmanuel Lewis.
