KN Sports Reporter Mohamed among those successful at WICUA exams

examinations; Guyana gained one hundred percent success. Mohamed, who is also a certified West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) level one coach, said he is happy with the success. “I worked hard to pass both exams, I had all confidence that I would have made it and I would like to thank the Almighty for making it easy for me,” stated Mohamed who hails from the Essequibo River island of Wakenaam.
He stated that an outreach programme caused him to take umpiring seriously. “The late Clyde Duncan, Colin Alfred and Chairman of West Indies selectors Clyde Butts conducted a few umpire and coaching sessions in Wakenaam a few years ago after which I decided to get more involved. I first started to umpire in a few friendlies, but when an association was formed in Wakenaam I was asked to officiate in competitions. I then wrote the Preliminary and Final exams and after being successful I decided to take it up as a career”, he said.
The 34 year old Mohamed would like to thank all those who assisted him. “I would like to show gratitude to my father Lennie Mohamed (president of the Wakenaam Cricket Umpires Association), the Sans Souci Jaguars SC, Wakenaam Cricket Committee, my colleagues at Kaieteur News, Shakira Mohamed , Dheindranauth Somwaru, Nigel Dugid, Zabeer Zakier, Eddie Nicholls, Colin Alfred, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Joseph Jeffery, Dasroy Balgobin and the Georgetown Cricket Association among others. I would also like to wish the other successful umpires well in their careers.
