GCC, Blairmont clash for Roy Fredericks Cup tomorrow
Pavilion to be named in late batsman’s honour
In what is billed as a Berbice and Demerara showdown, Blairmont Cricket Club will face off with Georgetown
Jeetendra Sookdeo
Cricket Club (GCC) tomorrow in a 50-over match for the inaugural Roy Fredericks Cup at the Blairmont Community Centre ground, West Coast Berbice.
The match will get cracking at 09:30hrs, but prior to the bowl-off, management of the Blairmont Community Centre will unveil the naming of a pavilion at the venue after Fredericks, the late great former Guyana and West Indies opening batsman.
Fredericks, a dashing left-hander, played for the Blairmont Cricket Club in his heydays, and current executive Shabeer Baksh said branding the pavilion after batsman is a fitting way of paying tribute to his contribution to the game.
Baksh informed that the club has sought permission from the Berbice Cricket Board, which has control over cricket in county, and the Guyana Sugar Corporation, who has authority over the ground, before naming the pavilion after Fredericks. Both entities approved the request.
Blairmont will depend on the likes of ex-Windies fast bowler Brandon Bess, Parmanand Ramdhan, Waqar Hassan, and leg-spinner Kevon Jawahir while GCC will look to Jeetendra Sookdeo, left-arm spinners Raj Nanan and Anthony Adams, Devon Lord and Joshua Wade.
Admission to the venue is free, and trophies for the game have been provided by Berbice Bridge Company Inc., Baksh Travel Service, Big B Restaurant and Greens Massive.
