Kaieteur News – “When I became President of the Berbice Cricket Board in 2018, I promised that no subsidiary society would be left behind even if they didn’t vote for me. For years, the Berbice River Subsidiary looked like a four-vote provider to some people. That is no longer the case as they are now treated equally with the other sub-areas in Berbice, ”said Berbice Cricket Board President Hilbert Foster as he launched another cricket tournament for the teams in the Sub-Association Berbice River.
Mr Uborn France, Managing Director of the French Electrical and Construction Company has joined forces to sponsor the tournament, which would be played using the forty overs format. At least four teams are expected to play under BCB COVID-19 regulations and the top two teams would then travel to a coastal location for the finals, possibly at the historic Albion Ground Sports Complex. Teams expected to play in the tournament include Ebini, Wiruni and Sand Hills among others.
Foster revealed that, over the last three years, the BCB has organized several tournaments for the subsidiary and they have all been very successful, while teams in the areas have benefited from numerous donations of items including cricket gears, cricket balls, sticks, educational materials, water kitchens, school bags, trophies, medals among others. The BCB also donated $ 120,000 worth of colored uniforms to the Vice Society under the Clayton Lambert Gera project.
Foster also revealed that the Berbice River Cricket team would for the first time ever participate in a BCB first division tournament, when they play in the historic semi-professional league scheduled for August. A great effort would also be made to send coaches in the area to run a small cricket academy in the area.
The BCB expressed confidence that the standard of game in the river area would lead to players who would go on to play for the county and even higher. The BCB committed to organizing at least two tournaments in 2021 but warned that teams would have to follow all COVID-19 guidelines. He also thanked Mr. Navindra Persaud, Regional Executive Officer of Region 6 for his cooperation and support of Berbice Cricket.
France stated, in brief comments, that he admired the excellent work of the BCB led by Foster and was delighted to join the many people who came on board to assist.
