With the level of the game being very high in Berbice, Beharry expressed confidence that the New Amsterdam Secondary would make the County proud.
He urged members of the team to be proper ambassadors for Berbice and Guyana while in Barbados and to promote Guyana’s youths as disciplined and committed individuals.
Beharry committed the Board towards assisting the team on future tours while a special incentive will be coming from the Board if the school wins the tournament.

The team which consists of several Berbice and Guyana junior players has been training on a daily basis for the last month and is in top shape both mentally and physically.
