Chairman of the Special Events Committee, Hilbert Foster said that the first ever Tribute to Coaches Programme was sponsored by the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and Food For The Poor Inc. Foster said that the Board decided to honour the coaches because of the hard work and dedication they have displayed over the years.
He noted that Berbice has dominated most of the Inter County tournaments and showered praises on the coaches for their work among the County’s junior players. The BCB since 2008 has been placing special emphasis on coaching and has organised numerous clinics along with the junior and senior Elite Programmes and the Annual Cricket Academy.
The Berbice Cricket Board for the latter part of 2011 would be expanding its coaching programme to unearth new talented players in the Central and Upper Corentyne areas and Foster expressed confidence that the Coaching Department of the Board would continue its outstanding work.
