THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has extended congratulations to Ms Deborah McNichol on her recent, unopposed election to the presidency of the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC).
Ms McNichol brings to the position a wealth of experience, having served for many years on the executive committee of the Malteenoes Sports Club as well as the Georgetown Cricket Association. The GCB notes that Ms Mc Nichol is the first female president of a major cricket club in Guyana and possibly in the Caribbean.
The GCB feels that her ascendancy to the position of president is testimony to her hard work and commitment and trusts that this achievement will set the stage for more females to come forward and contribute to the progress and development of Guyana cricket both as players and cricket administrators.
In a release, the board commended the members of Malteenoes Sports Club for having placed their confidence in McNichol and by so doing broke the gender barrier.
The release further wished McNichol a successful tenure as president of the MSC and stands willing to assist her as she undertakes the stewardship of one of Guyana’s leading sports club.
