BCB hosts school bags for Sports Project

Aug 31, 2012 Sports

 

The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) on Tuesday last assisted 24 young cricketers with school bags under its Annual School bags for Sports Project.
The cricketers were drawn from clubs in Berbice and those receiving were from the Bush Lot United, Blairmont, Bermine, Albion, Young Warriors, Edinburgh and Police Cricket Clubs. Sadly, no one from the Skeldon, Port Mourant or West Berbice clubs turned up to receive their bags despite being invited.
Chairman of the BCB Competitions Committee Carl Moore at the simple presentation ceremony urged the attentive players to stay in school and obtain a solid educational background since it is the key to success.
The Board, Moore stated was investing heavily in the personal development of the youngsters since they would like to see them excel on and off the field while at the same time being proper Sports Ambassadors for Berbice and Guyana.
The game of cricket, Moore advised the youths that it is no longer about talent alone. He told them that an educated mind would achieve success on the cricket field. Moore expressed gratitude to the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and Dave Television Station (DTV-8) for their sponsorship of the project and described the donors as friends of Berbice cricket.
Secretary/CEO of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee Hilbert Foster stated that unlike the past when all the Board did was about cricket on the field, it is now investing into the development of education, culture, social skills, youth development and cricket coaching.
The Board in 2012 has completed a total of 136 programmes/activities and Foster disclosed that several major projects would be unveiled shortly as they strive to maintain the high standards of the game.
Foster also stated that they would be placing special emphasis on the educational career of every player in the Ancient County, assisting when possible.
Keanu Adonis of the Bermine Cricket Club expressed profound gratitude to the BCB on behalf of his fellow recipients and praised the administration for looking after the welfare of its young players.
He pledged that they would continue to make education a key goal in life and would make the Berbice Board proud.
