Smalta will aid in the development of female cricket by sponsoring the Georgetown Cricket Association girl’s programme that bowled off with its orientation yesterday afternoon at Malteenoes Sports Club.

Marketing Manager of GBI Melinda Telesford hands over cheque to Programme manager Deborah McNichols in the presence of GCA President Neil Barry Sr on Tuesday.

At the simple handing over ceremony on Tuesday, Marketing Manager of Guyana Brewery Inc. (GBI) Melinda Telesford shared that, “Smalta is big on supporting sport and this is the perfect event to be part of as it promotes the development of not only cricket but women’s cricket as well.”
President of the Malteenoes Cricket Club and manager of the girl’s programme, Deborah McNichols highlighted that, “This is perfect for female cricket and I can see this growing into something special where future national cricketers are produced.”
Meanwhile, President of the Georgetown Cricket Association, Neil Barry Sr shared that, “The development of the female game is something we have been lacking with and hopefully this kick-starts a nucleus of players that we can develop for the game.”
The programme will cater to young girls from the age of 12 with various venues around Georgetown being utilised for the running of the camp.
