THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) is saddened by the passing of cricket stalwart and staunch supporter Winston Gordon Boston, popularly know was WG Boston. Boston passed away suddenly on July 20. A press release from the GCB reads: The Executive and Members of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) wish to express our dismay at the sudden death of Mr Winston Gordon Boston, our trusted cricket supporter. ‘WG’, as he was familiarly and fondly known, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday July 20, 2021 at the age of 69.
‘WG’ was a member of the Cricket Stakeholders’ Group that fought gallantly for over ten (10) years to return legality to Guyana’s cricket, achieved at the historic GCB elections held March 29, 2021. Indeed, he was a committed and strong advocate for our cause, travelling the length and breadth of our country in his quest for legality and accountability for our national game.

‘WG’ was a member of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) and Malteenoes Sport Club (MSC). He served as the Secretary of the Malteenoes Sports Club and Manager of the Youth, Intermediate and First Division teams at that club while also serving on various sub-committees.
Mr Boston was also Secretary of the Mildred Mansfield Youth Club, Vice-President of Pele Football Club, Secretary of the National Dominoes Association and Sports Organiser of the Guyana Electricity Corporation during the time of the GUYSTAC tournaments.
W.G Boston was a passionate sports enthusiast who never hesitated to express his views and support for any just cause whether verbally or in writing. He will be remembered for ensuring that the illegal regime that ruled Guyana’s cricket was removed.
The GCB wishes to express sincere condolences to the wife, children and other family members of Mr Winston G. Boston. He will be dearly missed.
May his soul rest in peace!
