The Skeldon Community Centre on the Upper Corentyne will come alive tomorrow when the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association (UCCA) runs off the inaugural Mohabir Baljeet Sukhpaul (Beto) Memorial 20/20 cricket competition, which is sponsored by Mr. Swarendra Sukhpaul (Suren) and Mr. Rajendra Sukhpaul, sons of the late Mohabir Baljeet Sukhpaul of the Sukhpaul Business Enterprise with businesses throughout Berbice.
Four teams will participate in the one day cricket competition which will involve the four zone winners in the Upper Corentyne 40 overs competition now being played.
The teams down to take part are No48 Challengers, No70 MYO, No71 and Skeldon Community Centre (SCC). Action is expected to bowl off at 09:00 hrs with play in the first semifinal with SCC coming up against No 70 MYO, while the second semifinal will see No71 challenging No48 challengers for a place in the final.
The Trophies and sponsorship cheque to the tune of $155,000 was recently handed over to the UCCA by the sponsors at a simple ceremony at Sukhpaul’s Gas Station in Corriverton.
The Upper Corentyne area covers teams from No.45 to Crabwood Creek areas.
The winner will receive $20,000 and a trophy, runner up $10,000 and a trophy. There will also be trophies for man-of-the-match in all the games.
All proceeds from activity including gates, drinks and food rights will go towards the development of cricket in the Upper Corentyne Area. (Samuel Whyte)
