Jul 22, 2018 Sports

Oswald Waldron played a key role as youth Coach at Malteenoes.

As Malteenoes get ready for possible rain and an unplayable ground, contingency plans are in place for the staging off the Malteenoes Cricket Academy which starts tomorrow.
According to the club if the rain continues and the ground can’t be used, the tarmac at the Transport Sports Club ground and the one in the National Park will be used for the outdoor sessions with tape balls being used until the ground dries.
Meanwhile, as support for the Academy continues to grow 59 year-old for MSC youth Coach Oswald Waldron made a timely contribution to the club he called home for 17 years before he migrated to the USA in 1999.
‘Ossie’ worked with the youth section in the 1990s when cricket in Demerara was still strong and said he was pleased to give back to a club he still loves and will never forget.
The Coach who also worked with the Scotia Bank Kiddies cricket programme made his contribution in US dollars.
The Academy caters for both Girls and Boys from 6-18 years and registration fee is $3,000. Forms can be picked today from the Malteenoes’ caretaker.
Girls are encouraged to join, while the ‘Babies’ of the National Girls team just back from Jamaica, have registered for the Academy on the recommendation of their Coach Bharat Mangru who is also an International Scorer and will conduct scoring sessions to the 13-18 age group.
Essequibo Franchise Coach Ryan Hercules attended the very first Academy in 1999 and returned the next year. He went on to represent Essequibo at Senior Inter-County level.
Minister of Social Cohesion with responsibility for Culture, Youth and Sports Dr George Norton will deliver the feature address tomorrow.
