THE new Executive of the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) recently held its first Statutory meeting to name the sub-committees and make plans for the way forward.
The six sub-committees are as follows: Public Relations – Sean Devers (Chairman), Kurtis ‘DJ Casual’ Armstrong, Owen John and Darien Best.

Finance: Troy Lewis (Chairman), Shawn Holder, Marcus Watkins, Deborah McNichol and Lance Hinds.
Ground Committee: Troy Lewis (Chairman), Winston Semple and Shawn Holder.
Disciplinary Committee: Adrian Smith (Chairman), Shawn Holder, Sean Devers, Quasen Nedd and Theresa Pemberton.

Fund-Raising Committee: Deborah McNichol (Chairperson), Oswald Pearce, Kurtis Armstrong, Owen John, Troy Lewis, Marcus Watkins, Darien Best, Kefa Naughton, Steven Jacobs, Theresa Pemberton and Alisha Dalrymple.

Cricket Committee: Shawn Holder (Chairman), Steven Jacobs, Sean Devers, Marcus Watkins, Owen John, Darien Best and Oswald Pearce.

Meanwhile, a number of projects have been set for the year including the construction of a multi-purpose all-weather sports facility, increasing their pool of youth cricketers and enlarging the general membership of the club.

A brainchild of Owen John, the construction of the practice facility is estimated to cost $3.3M and will include three pitches. MSC has gotten sponsorship from several businesses for this project.

The club hopes to develop a facility which can accommodate basketball, volleyball and futsal court in addition to cricket.

The entire sports facility should cost approximately $6.5M and would be rented to sports promoters to generate funds for the club, which plays in GCA’s competitions.
The club also has plans for installing floodlights and is seeking sponsorship for that project.
A number of overseas players, as well as former players, are willing to contribute in whatever way they can.

It was also noted that past presidents, Claude Raphael (who implemented a youth section in 1984), Lance Hinds and immediate past president Neil Barry, have all indicated their willingness to contribute to the club’s development.

A president is limited to two terms in office and current president Winston Semple and secretary, Adrian Smith, are ex-officio members of each sub-committee.
