NBS renews sponsorship of BCB 2015 second division cricket in Berbice

Feb 15, 2015 Sports

Mortgage giants, New Building Society Limited renewed sponsorship of the Berbice Cricket Board 40-over Second Division Cricket Competition for teams in Berbice. The tournament is expected to commence soon and will see close to one hundred teams participating, the single largest cricket competition in the Caribbean. Teams are drawn from all geographic areas in the ancient county.
At the presentation ceremony held recently at the New Amsterdam Branch of the largest mortgage institution in the country, Mr Carl Moore, the BCB competitions committee chairman said that he is delighted that the Society is once again on board and emphasized the importance of this competition in Berbice. He said that in his opinion this is one of the most important cricket competitions in the county and many young cricketers are born out of this championship. It brings the entire family out on Sundays in a picnic atmosphere. He added that it helps to keep the village cricket alive and the grounds in good condition so that people of all ages can use the facilities to play and exercise, creating healthy lifestyles.
Angela Haniff, the secretary of the board also spoke and echoed the sentiments of Mr Moore. Speaking on behalf of the Society, Mr Rana Persaud, Manager of the Rose Hall Branch said that his company is always aware of its social responsibilities and role in the development of the communities and by sponsoring this ever important competition is an ideal way of giving back to the county.  He said that at the conclusion of the 2014 tournament, we promised renewal of sponsorship and today we have fulfilled that promise. He reminded the gathering that the Building Society has four branches in Berbice out of the seven in the country.
Mr Persaud further stated that the mileage the Society received over the years is overwhelming and the Chairman and Board of directors, management and staff is pleased with the manner the competition was run. Anil Beharry, performing the dual role of a Senior Manager of the sponsor and the newly elected president of the Berbice Cricket Board, thanked the Society for their thrust and confidence shown in the work of the board and thanked Carl Moore and his committee for doing an excellent job in running off such a huge competition. He also praised the public relations department of the board for the widest possible coverage in the print and electronic media.
