Sep 12, 2012 Sports

The advancement of Berbice cricketers over the past months has been phenomenal and the general consensus suggests that the coaches have been making an extra special effort to prepare their charges for their respective encounters.
It was with this in mind that six coaches from the Ancient County were singled out for their phenomenal contribution in this department when the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) staged its annual ‘Tribute to Coaches’ at their office, Cheddi Jagan Street, New Amsterdam over the past weekend.
Those receiving commendation for their hard work are Michael Hyles-Franco, Renwick Batson, Delbert Hicks, Winston Smith, Julian Moore and Adrian Amsterdam.
Chairman of the Berbice Cricket Board Special Events Committee, Hilbert Foster explained that the awardees had played integral roles in the development of young cricketers in the region.
He identified several of the youngsters that have benefited from the expertise of the coaches including Shawn Pereira, Romario Shepherd, Shimron Hetmyer, Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai, Kevin Ramdeen, Arif Chan, Shailendra Shameer and Linden Austin.
These cricketers have participated in several training programme organized by the BCB including the Junior Elite Coaching Sessions,  the Cricket Academy, Guyoil/Castrol Coaching Programmes and numerous cricketing clinics hosted by the BCB.
Further, the awardees had successfully hosted a three day ‘Coaching of Coaches’ Programme at the Albion Community Centre where 30 aspiring club coaches were tutored in the intricacies of the sport.
Treasurer of the BCB, Anil Beharry, hailed the contribution of coaches and for the roles they played in the continued upward trend of cricket in the region. His sentiments were echoed by President of the subject entity, Keith Foster noted that the sport is now played with intensity and natural talent is insufficient for success.
He said that this has prompted officials of his entity to organize several developmental programmes in an effort to harness the available talent.
In response, one of the coaches, Renwick Batson, expressed gratitude to their benefactor for noting their hard work. He stated that the gesture was indeed morale boosting and his colleagues have recommitted to redouble their efforts in the future.
The coaches further pledged to support future developmental programmes while identifying and nurturing new talents.
The BCB presented each coach with a hamper of Ricks & Sari Agro products along with other gifts.
