Berbice Cricket Board congratulates their winning Under-15 team
Feb 23, 2015 Sports
In a release, the president and members of the Berbice Cricket Board took the opportunity to congratulate their Under-15 team which recently won the inter county championship after defeating Demerara in the final played at Wales, West Bank, Demerara.
The release mentioned that all Berbicians are proud of the young cricketers, the coach Andre Percival and manager Kwesi Maltay. Special mention was made of the experienced chairman of the junior selection panel Leslie Solomon and his team for a job well done. The release further stated that it is never easy to select any junior team as in the case of the senior team which almost picks itself. The board has endorsed the work of the panel and gives its full support. The panel has already started preparations for the Under-17 team with trials fixed for next weekend at the Albion Sports Complex and The Young Warriors Cricket Club ground. Under-13 and Under-19 will follow.
Gratitude was extended to the major sponsors of Under-15 cricket in Berbice, Tenelec Inc of the USA and National Communication Network. Despite the boards’ limited financial resources, it will continue to work to develop cricket at all levels in the ancient county with particular interest at the youth level, the nursery of the game. The board welcomed the latest sponsors of junior cricket in the secondary schools A Ally and Sons and Dalchand Rambharose of the USA.
The board called on all cricket lovers to come on board and support the BCB as they strive for help in the form of sponsorship for the three day first division cricket competition, a competition that is missing for the longest while and one that is so important for the further development of the game.
A ceremony will be held soon to honour the players, coach, manager, the junior selectors and parents.
