Bishoo was honoured for his Most Valuable Player (MVP) accolade at the Caribbean T20 tournament, Campbell for being the MVP of the Female West Indies cricket tournament and Foo for his eye catching batting performances including the man-of-the-finals award at the T20 tournament.
Bishoo was presented with a cricket ball gold medallion, compliments of Kings Jewellery World; Foo a cricket ball gold medallion compliments of Sanjay’s Jewellery Store of Sheriff Street, while Campbell received two special gifts compliments of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club.
Chairman of the Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster complimented the trio for their ambassadorial like performances which confirms to the public that the level of the game in Berbice is at an all time high.
Foster in a forceful and emotional address stated that Berbice cricket was successful as a result of hard work, dedication and visionary leadership by the Board and this has had a positive impact on every cricketer in the Ancient County.
The long serving cricket administrator called on Foo and Bishoo to continue their brilliant performances and most importantly to be true representatives of Berbice and Guyana during the Champions League in South Africa, while Campbell was urged to use her MVP award as a stepping stone to greater success.
President (Ag) of the Berbice Cricket Board, David Black congratulated the players on what he called their historic personal achievements. He noted that being the MVP of a tournament and man-of-the-final in a pressured situation was no easy attainment.
Board Treasurer Anil Beharry called on all young Berbice players to emulate the trio and to strive to become the next MVP from the Ancient County.
The BCB is expressing thanks to Kings Jewellery World (Mr. Looknauth Persaud), Sanjay’s Jewellery Store (Mr. Sanjay) and the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club for donating the gifts.
