Walter, who has served the club with distinction for many years in several capacities, including as president, will have a former club president, Imtiaz Bacchus, as his deputy.
Omarnauth Outar will serve as secretary, Pooran Mangal as treasurer and Joshua Harichand as assistant secretary/treasurer.

According to the club, the elected executives meet shortly to appoint the club’s respective sub-committees, captains, managers and BCB representatives.

Yesterday, president of the BCB, Hilbert Foster, offered his congratulations to Walter.
A BCB social media post stated that Foster is confident that the youths at the Albion club will benefit from Walter’s “vast experience, knowledge of the game and his visionary leadership”.

Foster stated that the Albion president, over the last year, has been a strong rod of support to the BCB and he expects a continuation of the relationship.
