PRECISION Sports Training Camp, organised by female Inter-County Cricketer Trinidadian Nidia Andrews, will head to the historic Albion Sports Complex ground in Corentyne, East Berbice.

The two-day camp is set for tomorrow and Sunday from 10:00hrs, and will conclude at 15:00hrs on both days at a venue where the West Indies beat Pakistan in 1977 in the inaugural ODI in the West Indies.

“We got permission from the President of the Albion Sports Club, Vemen Walters, to conduct our sessions on their ground.

“Interested players are encouraged to make the effort to show up, and can contact Precision Sport on 627-1295,” Andrews said.

After the rain-affected session in Demerara was held at the National Gymnasium, Andrews disclosed that the weather in Essequibo was better, and facilitated both indoor and outdoor work, including sessions with the bowling machine at the indoor nets.

“Our sessions in Anna Regina were a success despite some unexpected hiccups that didn’t allow a few eager Berbice players to attend,” she said, adding:

“Players focused on batting against spin bowling on Saturday, then switched to facing pace on Sunday, when we took full advantage of the bowling machine to carry out batting drills.

“On both days, the players were afforded outdoor fielding drills at the Anna Regina Community Centre Ground, which is being transformed into a stadium.

“On Sunday morning, a few players were present from as early as 06:30hrs for an optional 07:00hrs for a batting session with coach Rawle Merell ahead of the scheduled 10:00hrs, since most of the players were staying in the hostel provided by the Essequibo Cricket Board.

“From 11:00 hours to noon, a classroom session was conducted by Coach Parmesh Persaud, who was also present on both training days.

“A test was given on fielding positions in which Tilleya Madramootoo (the only Demerara player in attendance) aced and was rewarded for her excellence.

“Anastacia Valenzuela won a catching competition on Saturday, and was also rewarded.

“Yonette Welcome, who hails from Warapoka, Moruca Sub-district, Region 1, demonstrated leadership qualities and proved to be a motivator, not just throughout the Essequibo sessions but even during the Demerara sessions.

“We will continue to assess everyone’s performance and attitude as we approach the practice games and selection process.”
