The long standing and successful relationship between the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) and Tenelec Inc. of Washington, United States of America, was renewed recently when the overseas based company handed over a cheque valued US$6,250 ($1,238,750) Board.
The simple presentation was done by senior Tenelec Inc. official Mr. Bobby Deonarine to Board Secretary Angela Haniff which represented the fifth successive year that the company was sponsoring the County’s First Division 50-Over and Under-15 tournaments.
Secretary Angela Haniff accepting the sponsorship for the two tournaments praised Tenelec for their continued support at both the junior and senior levels.

She has committed the BCB to uphold its high standards in the future and also assured the Management of Tenelec Inc. and Mr. Bobby Deonarine that tournaments would be well organised and that new talent will be unearthed.
She has described Tenelec Inc. as one of the main pillars for the success of Berbice cricket and expressed the hope that the relationship would continue in the future.
Mr. Bobby Deonarine, who spoke on behalf of Tenelec Inc., expressed his appreciation for the state of Berbice cricket and noted that his company was pleased to be associated with the best organised Cricket Board in Guyana.
