Mentore further stated that the players have continued the high standards set by its predecessors and the rich legacy of DCC in continuing to produce talented players for Guyana and the West Indies.
“I take this opportunity to encourage the corporate community to join in sponsoring the Camp as the club seeks to identify new talent and ensure the longevity and continuity of this great sport that we all love,” said the former national youth cricketer.
The Camps serves multiple purposes for youths, families and the community and is a great social cohesive opportunity to keep children occupied, away from social ills and an ideal get away during the school holidays to help prevent them getting involved in delinquent activities.
