Demerara Cricket Board strongly condemns GCA & ECCB recklessness

Apr 22, 2013 Sports

 

Dear Sports Editor,
Once again, the DCB is being asked to correct these continuous reckless and disrespectful charges being made by these 2 insolent Area Associations and have now decided to refer this matter to its disciplinary committee for further action.
The DCB had submitted to all media houses copies of the court orders that were made by the Honourable James Bovell-Drakes in 2011 and is aghast at these blatant lies and untruths that continue to be published wholesale by some sections of the media without any effort to verify the facts from these Court Orders.
The individuals from these 2 outfits have managed to mislead the Government of Guyana, the public to a certain extent and the media for several years with these unsubstantiated allegations but intelligent persons who care and bother themselves to read the actual Orders would surely not be manipulated by these individuals.
In December 2011, Mr. Harper had brought a contempt of court motion against the same Raj Singh led administration and withdrew his motion. It is mindboggling that some people are so easily misled by this dwindling group.
The DCB maintains that there is no legal impediment to its existence as it continues to execute its mandate of administering cricket in the County of Demerara.
The DCB respects the wishes of its sponsors and cricketers and will make every effort to ensure that cricket is played continuously in our County despite these negative actions by this misguided group.
The DCB just concluded the Under-15 & Under-19 inter association competitions, without the cooperation of these 2 delinquent Associations, whilst ensuring that young cricketers from all areas of Demerara, inclusive of Georgetown and East Coast Demerara, were selected to represent their respective areas. We make no apologies for these actions! West Demerara won the Under-19 competition whilst Georgetown won the Under-15 Inter Association competition.
This clearly represents development in traditional rural areas as both competitions were very keenly contested. We are also especially pleased to announce that the Demerara team just won the Limacol sponsored GCB Inter County Under-15 tournament playing unbeaten throughout the competition. Congrats to our youths! In addition, the President’s XI comprising several Demerara players performed very creditably, almost whipping the supposed “powerhouse” for cricket in Guyana, Berbice.
The DCB wishes to state very clearly that they have a duly constituted Executive Committee that was legally elected at a duly constituted AGM without any legal restrictions and will continue to function in the development of cricket in the County of Demerara.
The DCB remains committed to the promotion and development of youths and cricket in Demerara. The distraction of so-called “shareholders” will not deter our efforts.
Raj Singh
DCB President
