Jul 06, 2019 Sports

Close to 150 members of the West Indies Cricket Umpires Association (WICUA) will be gathering in Barbados this weekend for the organisation’s 29th bi-annual convention. Long-serving WICUA secretary Vivian Johnson said the week-long convention, the fifth to be held in Barbados since the organisation was founded in 1962, will see umpires from the six West Indies cricket associations, as well as Bermuda, Canada, the Cayman Islands and the United States, attending.
Johnson said that during the week discussions, which will take place at Kensington Oval, are scheduled on training and development of umpires throughout the region served by the WICUA, there will be elections of office bearers for the next two years, and a cricket match played between the umpires of Barbados as host country and those from visiting ranks. The convention will culminate with the President’s Banquet and Awards function where a number of umpires will receive their certified WICUA umpires certificates, and others will receive awards for outstanding service to the Association. The newly elected Vice President of Cricket West Indies, Dr. Kishore Shallow, will be the guest speaker at the dinner.
There will be approximately 150 umpires in attendance with Guyana Cricket Umpires’ Council President Shannon Crawford and Vice President Arleigh Rutherford, who is also the Chairman of the Georgetown Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association, being the two delegates from Guyana. Others attending from Guyana are Kenalyn Baker, Grantley Culbard, Matthew Kissoon, Dawchand Nagassar, Karen Witherspoon and Deon Feassal.
The convention gets underway with a church service followed by an Island tour. The opening ceremony will be held on Monday which will be preceded by a meet and greet function. On Tuesday there will be a cultural night while games on Wednesday. The Wanderers Cricket ground will host the cricket match on Thursday, while on Friday the Kensington Oval will be the venue for the Award’s Ceremony and President’s ball. The delegates will then depart Barbados on Saturday July 13.
