TWO mobile white sightscreens were yesterday morning donated to the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) which is the oldest cricket club in the Caribbean.

Built by General Equipment Guyana Ltd, the presentation was made on the Bourda ground where West Indies won its first Test match beating England in 1930.
The sightscreens (11ft tall and; 20ft wide) were presented by Jason Van Dyke of General Equipment to President of GCC, Jonathan Yearwood.

Yearwood thanked General Equipment and said the sightscreens which cover two pitches will greatly benefit the club in the upgrading of the venue.

“We will save the time and cost for painting the present sightscreens which are black. When there is ‘Red Ball’ Cricket we would just roll this one in front of the two concrete ones we have” explained Yearwood. (Sean Devers)
