Letter to the Sports Editor…WDCA is the most successful Association in Demerara
Dear Editor,
I, Lalta Digamber, am the President of the West Demerara Cricket Association since April 2012 and I do find it necessary to respond to recent letters in the Press. One such letter was purportedly written by Bhawan McCoon who claims to be the president of the Uitvlugt Cricket Club.
For the records, I would like to state that Mr. McCoon seems not to be up to date on several issues because, if he had followed the cricket news for the past two years, he would have been aware of the following:
1. In 2012, West Demerara won the DCB Under-15, Under-17, and Under 19 Competitions. As a result, some of the players made the national teams in the various age groups.
2. In 2013, West Demerara again won the DCB Under-15 and Under-19 Competitions and was the runner-up in the Under-17. And yet again, some of our players earned places in the national squads.
During those two years Mr. McCoon overlooked the destruction of Uitvlugt Cricket Club. They failed to provide a team for Competitions of the WDCA for two consecutive years. He turned up once with six players yet he calls himself the President of that club.
Mr. McCoon should be the last person to pronounce on the performance of the West Demerara Cricket Association or my Vice-President Mr. Sanasie.
I do hope Mr. McCoon and the individual who calls himself “Chandraballi Ramsaroop” can ask why the GCA AGM was not held in January 2014, when it was constitutionally due. I think this is the million dollar question, not the performance of the West Demerara Cricket Association.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Lalta “Rishi” Digamber
President
West Demerara Cricket Association
