The 2017 Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)/Scotiabank Kiddy Progression One Cricket Competition has been postponed until the September school term.
The delay is due to the current inclement weather, which has been forecasted to persist into the month of July.
As a result all primary schools are asked to note the adjustment.
To date, the districts of New/Amsterdam/Canje and East Bank Essequibo are the only two areas to have commenced their leg of the competition.
However, primary schools will be encouraged to enjoy the benefits of the coaching education programmes which involves the activity aspects of “Meet the Emerging Player” and “Cricket Is My Game – Learn IT.”
Further, School teachers and club coaches will benefit from four Child Protection Programmes, which are scheduled to be conducted during the first two weeks in June.
The Child Protection programmes will target interested individuals in Berbice, Essequibo, Upper Demerara and other specified locations in Demerara.
Additionally, it should be noted, that the revised fixtures for the 2017 GCB/Scotiabank Kiddy Progression One Cricket will be circulated during the current school term.
