The Berbice Cricket Board, Foster stated, was very satisfied with the outstanding relationship it shared with the Umpires’ Association and he urged them to always strive for excellence and to never lower their standards.
Cricket in Berbice, Foster disclosed would see massive progress during 2014 with the Special Events Committee back in action after a six months absence due to his health. He wished the Umpires and their families a Merry Christmas, a very productive and peaceful 2014 and he expressed the wish that the cordial relationship between the Cricket Board and the Umpires’ Association would be strengthened in the future.
President of the Berbice Cricket Umpires Association, Mr. Roshan Moakan, expressed gratitude to the Berbice Cricket Board for their kind gesture and he pledged that all Umpires in Berbice would work hander in the new year so that Berbice Cricket would be taken to a new level.
The Berbice Cricket Board would be donating toys to children homes in Berbice and also be visiting the Children Ward at the New Amsterdam Hospital today, Christmas Day.
