NAMILCO/Bakewell T20 Champion of Champions Tourney delayed

RHTY&SC issues release citing admin tug-o-war

The administrative battle among local cricket Administrators continues seemingly with no near end in sight. The egotistic battle is threatening to affect the inaugural NAMILCO/Bakewell Twenty20 Champion of Champions tournament in the Ancient County of Berbice.
Following is statement issued by the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, the organizers of the tournament:
“The Management of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) would like to inform the general cricketing public that the start of the NAMILCO/Bakewell 20/20 tournament has been delayed and as such it would not be starting on Sunday 21st, April 2013 as was announced.
The Club has been caught in the middle of the tug-of-war that has become the norm in Guyana’s cricket where personal power, personality clashes and settlement of scores are more important than the development and playing of cricket.
The RHTY&SC has sought the permission of the Guyana Cricket Board to host the tournament but it has not been granted on the basis of some legal matters between the GCB and the Berbice Cricket Board. The RHTY&SC is therefore appealing to the WICB and is hopeful of a positive response.
This situation can only be described as sickening as cricket is being destroyed on grounds totally unrelated to the game. The RHTY&SC has informed the official sponsors of the tournament and they have been very understanding and we thank them for their cooperation.
The RHTY&SC would inform the general public of the new date for the start of the tournament as soon as permission is granted. We would remain committed to its motto: “In Pursuit of Excellence” and would always place the development of youths, sports and education at the top of its agenda”.
