Ishmail Poultry Establishment of Fyrish Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice is the first sponsor of the Berbice Cricket Board fundraiser “Caricom Championship” 2015.
Sandeep Ramdass, Managing Director of Ishmail Poultry Establishment presents trophy and cash incentive for the man of the match of the final to Mahendra Ramdihall, representative of the BCB.
At a simple presentation ceremony, Mr Sandeep Ramdass, Managing Director of Ishmail Poultry Establishment popularly known as Pampy, said that his Company is once again pleased to be part of an activity organized by the Berbice Cricket Board. He said that he is always impressed with the work of the board and the professional and transparent way they do business over the years. He added that he is happy to help develop the young people in our county and will always help in this regard.
Collecting the cash and trophy for the man of the match award in the final, Mr Mahendra Ramdihall speaking on behalf of the board, thanked Ramdass for his kindness and assured that he will get good mileage for his sponsorship. He called on others to help the BCB fulfill its mandate and to make sure that three day first division cricket returns to Berbice.
Proceeds from this event will be used mainly to organise a very important three day cricket competition and will be played at the historic Albion Sports Complex on Sunday July 5, 2015, the day before Caricom Day.
The Caricom Championship will see the top eight T20 first division teams in Berbice taking part in a ten over knockout competition with the final of 20 overs to be played under lights for a top prize of $80,000 and trophy. The runner up will receive $40,000 and trophy with the losing finalists $15,000 each. Man of the match in every game will be rewarded. Action begins at 10am sharp.
The teams are: Upper Corentyne/Skeldon, Port Mourant, Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, Albion, Young Warriors/Rose Hall Center, Police/Bermine, Blairmont/West Berbice and Bush Lot/D’Edward. The board said that the teams were selected in such a manner so that all the top players in Berbice will be on show. The draw will be done one week before the tournament and the clubs are advised to submit the teams early for the press.
The board is appealing to all cricket lovers in Guyana and in the diaspora to come on board with the BCB to further enhance the game in the ancient county. The board is also calling on former Berbice players for assistance. Contact can be made on telephone numbers 333-2375, 655-4140 and 623-6875.
Many gate prizes will be up for grabs for the fans with a well stocked bar and musical entertainment. Games for the young and old will be there. To promote the game, fifteen passes each will be given to eight schools in the Lower Corentyne area.
