Albion Community Centre (ACC) and its skipper Sewnarine Chattergoon have been fined by the Competitions Committee of the Berbice Cricket Board of Control.

The club has been slapped with a $10,000 fine after it was found guilty of conceding a cricket match played under the auspices of the BCBC.

The  committee decided to fine the club following its refusal to accept an umpiring decision in  a first round fixture of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/ Gafsons nation-wide 20/20 competition against Skeldon Community Centre at the Skeldon Community Centre ground last Saturday.

According to reports, ACC had appealed for a catch taken by national under-19 player Jonathan Foo on the midwicket boundary but the umpire overruled the appeal for a dismissal after some consultation with his colleague, and signalled six runs.

Chattergoon then led his team off the field in the rain-affected game with  Skeldon,  chasing a revised target of 41 from five overs, 23-1.

Apart from awarding the match to Skeldon Community Centre, the committee also inflicted a fine of $3,000 on Chattergoon for his role in the affair.
