CRICKET clubs from the Lower Corentyne and New Amsterdam/Canje areas recently met with the president and executive members of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB).

The discussion, the first in a series by the BCB, was held at the Area ‘H’ ground, and among the clubs present were Fyrish, Courtland, Tain, Kildonan, Police, Rose Hall Canje, No.19 Village, Tamarind Root, Toopoo, Jai Hind, Belvedere, Big Star and Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club.

According to BCB president Hilbert Foster, the new BCB executives are totally committed to making a positive difference in the way cricket is administered in Berbice, where transparency and accountability will be up to standard.

He urged the attentive club leaders to work along with the BCB and to reject attempts to divide and destroy the present atmosphere of hope and unity. Clubs were informed to start preparing for a packed schedule of tournaments at the various levels.

Foster also brought the clubs up to date on the financial status of the board. He however stated that the previous administration had failed to formally hand over to the newly-elected body financial records or administrative documents.

Clubs were encouraged to provide ideas to the board. Foster’s delegation included Secretary Rabindranauth Saywack, assistant secretary Ameer Rahaman and Public Relations Office Colin Bynoe Jr.

Foster disclosed that the board will also be visiting the West Berbice and Upper Corentyne areas to meet with clubs.
