Kudos to Hon. Minister Charles Ramson Jnr for ending impasse paving the way for Upper Demerara Cricket Association

Letter to the Sports Editor…

Dear Editor,

As citizens of Linden and fighters for the legitimate place of the Upper Demerara Cricket Association, we are thankful for a space in your column.
First, we would like to congratulate the Hon. Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Hon. Charles Ramson Jr, even though a bit late; and second to thank him for ending the impasse between the Guyana Cricket Board and the Demerara Cricket Board, which saw many court battles since the Cricket Bill was passed in 2014, making way for the Upper Demerara Cricket Association to be the fifth Association and possibly the tie breaker for the Demerara Board.
However, the UDCA was sidelined by the GCB, making it impossible for the clubs to be engaged in cricket ‘proper’.
As recent as February 2020, a group of people headed by Mr. Jermaine Figueria M.P. formed an illegitimate body calling themselves the Upper Demerara Cricket Association and received gears and other assistance from the GCB.
Fortunately, an injunction was filed prohibiting them from functioning, thus another court matter. With the intervention of the Hon. Minister this matter was dealt with expeditiously.
We are now looking forward to an early resolution to this matter, so that the youths in Linden and Region Ten can play cricket more often and on better grounds.
Yours truly,
Executive Members of the Upper Demerara Cricket Association.
