AFTER months of internal backbiting, the members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) on Monday evening elected a new executive, with Patrick Harding replacing the long-serving Alfred Mentore as the new president.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the elections were held at the club’s Queenstown pavilion. Mentore, who decided not to seek re-election, clearly indicated that he will support the next president and executive in the transition period.
Former West Indies all-rounder Roger Harper and Lawrence Smith were elected the first and second vice-presidents respectively.

Reginald Brotherson is the new club secretary, while Ruth Howard is the treasurer.
Kirk Douglas is the assistant secretary/treasurer and Dennis Squires the Club captain.
The Indoor Club captain and Public Relations Officer positions have been taken up by Troy Halley and Adam Harris respectively.
Paul Wintz, Dexter George, Gladwin Brandis, Dionne Cush, and Mahendra Jaikarran make up the rest of the executive.
