INCUMBENT president of the Essequibo Cricket Board (ECB) Fizul Bacchus was last Sunday re-elected unopposed as president of that entity when the body held its Biennial General Meeting at its hostel in Anna Regina, Essequibo.

The other executive members who were elected unchallenged to serve for 2015-2016 are Totaram Ramnarine vice-president, Aotto Christiani secretary, Virendra Chintamani treasurer, Andy Ramnarine assistant secretary, Alvin Johnson assistant treasurer, Nazeer Mohamed Public Relations Officer, Anthony Murray marketing manager and Verna D’Aguiar competitions committee chairperson.
Additionally, A. Khan and Harvey Gobin were elected as trustees and Travis Simon the auditor of the ECB.
In an invited comment, Bacchus thanked the members for their confidence and said their main aim is to make Essequibo more competitive at all levels, adding that the board will do more training programmes and said there is need for more coaches in the Cinderella County.
Meanwhile a release from the board indicated that the meeting was well attended by all area committees, but was interrupted on several occasions by a representative from the North Essequibo Cricket Committee.
The release also stated that as the meeting went on both representatives from the said area committee verbally attacked Bacchus on several occasions, probably with the aim of disrupting the meeting, but they were unsuccessful in their endeavours.
