Young Warriors CC secures sponsorship to host Canje Day of Sports

Oct 24, 2016 Sports

The Young Warriors Cricket Club of Cumberland, East Canje, Berbice will be the host of the East Canje Day of Sports on November 6, 2016 at the Cumberland Ground. The day’s events will be cricket, football and will see villages competing against each other. The event was boosted with the sponsorship of Mara and Sons, Chinnick Supermarket and Universal DVD.
Mara and Sons donated a bicycle which will be used as a gate prize, while Chinnick Supermarket and Universal DVD made cash donations towards the event.  Steve Ramdatt of Mara and Sons said he is happy to assist and hopes that more talents like Shimron Hetmyer who is currently with the West Indies ‘A’ team in Sri Lanka will be unearthed. He also emphasized that sports can help to keep youths off the streets and get them involved in positive activities.
Vick Seubaran of Universal DVD said he will always assist in the development of sports, cricket in particular.
Leonard Baichan was the first and only test cricketer coming out of the area. Seon Hetymer, Gajanand Singh, Damodar Daesarat, Richard and Kevin Ramdeen, Balram Samaroo, Kwesi Maltay, Linden Austin, Boodnarine Sumair and Kassim Khan are among many others that represented Guyana at the various levels.
Even though most of the players came through The Young Warriors Cricket Club programme, they live in different villages in the Canje district. This leads to fierce competition among the village teams.
Some of the teams expected to take part are Canefield, Gangaram, Canje Pathfinders, Betsy Ground, Goed Bananen Land and Rose Hall Estate.
The cricket competition will be of five-over aside and will involve second division players. However, the teams are allowed to buy the first division players in the area with the starting bid being two thousand dollars with the exception of Shimron Hetymer whose starting bid will be $10,000.
In addition, there will be a feature football game involving players from #2, Palmyra, Sheet Anchor and Cumberland versus the other villages in East Canje. Attractive prizes up for grabs. Proceeds from this event will go towards the host for the development of cricket in the area. The first cricket match bowls off at 9.30hrs.
