The Port Mourant Cricket Club (PMCC) will be holding a one day fund raising four-team cricket tournament at its Port Mourant based ground on Sunday March 30.
President of the PMCC Vickram Seubarran said the main purpose of this event is to acquire funds to purchase covers for the pitch.
“We will be extending invitations to three other teams, namely Bermine along with Demerara Cricket Club and Everest Cricket Club, to join us on this day, for which we have sought and gotten permission from the Berbice Cricket Board, to host the activity.
Each team will be entitled to three guest players, which means they can use players in the caliber of former Guyana and West Indies fast bowler Brandon Bess along with the hard hitting Jonathan Foo, to bolster their chances of winning” said Seubarran.
A winner’s purse of $60,000 and trophy will be up for grabs, while the runner-up will pocket $40,000 and a trophy, the Man of the Match in the Final will receive a trophy, while admission to the venue would be $1,000 without a lunch ticket and $500, with a lunch ticket.
Drinks and food bars will be stocked, while a trampoline and Granny Ivelaw Dancing Girls coupled with a sound system will also be on hand to keep the fans active. The semifinals will be a 15 over affair, while the final will be of 20 overs duration.
Seubarran expressed gratitude to Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club Hilbert Foster, who issued to both Lloydel Lewis and Arif Chan, their transfer papers, enabling them to don the colors of PMCC from 1st April.
“While I am happy that these two players were given the permission to play for Port Mourant, it would have been wonderful for us to utilize their services in our upcoming Busta ‘Champion of Champions’ semifinal against Albion on Saturday.
However, I am confident that PMCC who have undergone some intense training under Coach Gavin Nedd, and will triumph over Albion on Saturday and book a place in the final” stated Seubarran.
He urged all past members of the club to return and give their support, since it is his aim to take the club back to its glory days, when the Kallicharrans, Nagamootoos, Poorans, Percivals, Kanhais and Butchers played for Guyana and later West Indies in their own rights.
“The club has a rich history, since Kanhai it has produced Berbice’s Greatest Test Cricketer, while Mahendra Nagamootoo is the Regional record holder for most wickets, even as Percival contributed to Guyana’s successful reign as a youth team in the early 90’s.
