The competition has attracted seven teams; Good Success, Sans Souci, Sans Souci Jaguars, G Square Cavaliers, Noitgedacht SC, Zeelandia and Maria’s Pleasure. The teams will be divided into two groups and will play each other once following which the top two teams will go through to the semi finals.
Speaking with Kaieteur Sport at a simple presentation ceremony yesterday at Bourda Market, Bel Air Rubis representative Melvern Subrina Singh thanked the Wakenaam Cricket Committee for giving them an opportunity to be associated with the game there.
“In these areas such as Wakenaam, there is an abundance of talented youths however they need the necessary exposure to excel. Staging a competition can be somewhat taxing on the organisers especially when it comes to sponsorship so we have decided to contribute towards the development of the game there,” she posited. Adding that they are passionate about the game and they are looking forward to a successful and exciting competition; she wished the teams well.
In an invited comment, Secretary of the Wakenaam Cricket Committee Nazeer Mohamed expressed gratitude to the sponsors, Lalta Gainda CEO of Bel Air Rubis and Ramesh Sunich of Trophy Stall for making the competition possible.
Mohamed informed that the tournament is set to commence on Sunday at the Wakenaam Community Centre ground, but adverse weather condition which left sections of the outfield waterlogged has put the matches in doubt, adding that excess sunshine is needed to get the ground match ready.
Mohamed pointed out that sponsorship is essential for the staging of competitions, adding that this is one of their main challenges. He informed that Good Success, Sans Souci Jaguars, Sans Souci and Zeelandia are in group A while Noitgedacht SC, Maria’s Pleasure and G Square Cavaliers SC are in zone B.
SS Jaguars are set to play Zeelandia at 09:30hrs while Maria’s Pleasure are schedule to play G Square Cavaliers at 13:30hrs in the opening fixtures on Sunday.
