THE YOUNG Warriors Cricket Club of Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice congratulates young and talented batsman Shimron Hetmyer for making the Berbice Senior T20 to participate in the upcoming tournament, adding how proud they are of Shimron’s achievements over the years. Anil Beharry, Secretary/Treasurer of the Club said that Shimron’s ability was spotted since the tender age of 7 when he followed his elder brother, Seon to the cricket ground in the afternoons.

Beharry added that this young talent is not even 16 years old and has done extremely well at all levels he plays.

Only last Wednesday, he scored a magnificent century in a specially arranged Under-21 game between Berbice Cricket Board and Georgetown Cricket Association which Berbice won handsomely.

He participated in this year’s Regional Under-19 cricket competition and scored a hundred and was one of the leading run scorers for Guyana, while he scored big first division hundreds recently against very strong bowling attacks such as Albion Cricket Club and West Berbice.

The Club would like to wish him well in his career and we are very confident that if he stays focus, discipline and fit, he will reach the West Indies level in the near future.

As a Club, we will continue to support and pray for him as we do for all our players. We will make sure too that with support from his parents that he does well in education as he prepares for the 2013 CSEC.

We also take this opportunity to wish Richard Ramdeen and the returning Gajanand Singh success. The YWCC recognizes the progress of another young and talented cricketer, Gudakesh Motie- Khan and wish him great success. Finally, best wishes to the Berbice team.
