In delivering the feature address, Club President Azeem Troy Khan, congratulated the awardees and challenged other members to emulate their feat. He stated that more cricket needs to be played in the area and called on the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) to ensure same.
“A prime example is our Club’s financial report for 2014, which shows us spending a huge amount of money towards development of our ground, fence, covers, gears etc and the WDCA has only invited us to play in five 40-over matches for the year,” he said. The club also participated in the Barakat Brothers T20 tournament.
