GCB makes invaluable contribution to Linden
The cricket development department of the Guyana Cricket Board, in pursuit of immediately answering the dire call for development of Cricket in Upper Demerara, has donated a large quantity of playing equipment to the Upper Demerara Cricket Association, to the president, Mr. Jermaine Figueira, yesterday at the GCB’s office.
Mr. Jermaine Figueira (centre) President of the Upper Demerara Cricket Association receives the equipment from Territorial Development Officer, Colin Stuart, and his assistant Kavita Yadram yesterday.
The presentation featured Mr. Figueira, Territorial Development Officer, Colin Stuart, and his assistant Kavita Yadram, who is also the administrator of the Demerara Cricket Board.
Mr. Figueira, in his brief remarks, thanked the Guyana Cricket Board for their contribution at such short notice to ensure that the youths of Upper Demerara benefits significantly from this gesture. He further stated that he would be liaising with the GCB for further collaborations on cricket development matters in Linden. Discussions are already on the way for constructions of two clay wickets at Mackenzie Sports Club and Linden Technical Institute grounds.
Mr. Stuart, in his remarks, noted the Guyana Cricket Board’s delight in making this contribution to the Upper Demerara region since they believe there is a wealth of talent in this community that can be nurtured under a well-managed arrangement. They are confident that, Mr. Figueira, and his supporting colleagues, will be able to positively address the development and empowering needs of the said region.
‘Despite this contribution carrying significant monetary value, it is a notch-under the invaluableness of the Board in recognizing the need for Cricket development in Linden, which is a remarkable intervention and manifestation of the board’s commitment to its mandate,’ Stuart noted in the release sent by the GCB.
