THE Queenstown based Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) will be hosting a club night free of charge for its members and other invitees, in commemoration of the recent achievements of some of its members..
According to a press release, the club tonight will be honouring the achievements of West Indies middle- order batsman Travis Dowlin, West Indies Under-19 selectee and national Under-19 opener Trevon Griffith as well as that of national all rounder Christopher Barnwell.
Dowlin represented the West Indies in their just concluded Test and limited- overs series with success, narrowly missing out on a century in the second test, but he made amends to score his maiden limited overs century in the second match which unfortunately for him, the team lost.
The left handed Griffith represented Guyana in this year’s West Indies Cricket Board (WICB)/TCL sponsored Regional Under-19 tournament in Jamaica, where he came away as the lone Guyanese to have registered a ton and with his productivity at the top of the order, he was selected to the Regional Under-19 team in preparation for next year’s youth world cup.
The vast improving Barnwell, who originates from a football loving family although his late uncle Andrew Lyght Snr. was a pugnacious opener in his heyday, was selected in a provisional 30 man West Indies squad, but failed to make the mark.
Nevertheless, his game has improved leaps and bounds and one will be having a closer look at him in the upcoming WICB regional limited overs tournament which will be hosted in its entirety by Guyana for the second successive year.
DCC intends to pay homage to the tremendous efforts shown by the three, hence tonight’s venture will have a well stocked bar, wild meat and, music being provided by Robbies International Sound System from 19:00h.
