EIGHTY-ONE enthusiastic children turned up at the historic Georgetown Cricket (GCC) ground, Bourda, to be a part of the Queensway sponsored GCC Summer Camp.
This year’s Camp commenced on July 21 and ends on July 31. It runs from 09:00hrs and concludes at 13:00hrs from Monday to Friday.

Under the watchful eyes of Coaches – former First-Class batter, Rabindranath Seeram; former West Indies Women’s pacer, Sabrina Munroe; former National U-19 opener, Peter Persaud
and the experienced Orin Bailey, the children are being taught the basics of cricket in ‘a fun environment.’

When Chronicle Sport visited the venue where West Indies won its first Test match in 1930, there was a large gathering of parents present.
President of GCC, Jonathan Yearwood, said that, during the long vacation from school, the club organises camps to keep the kids occupied and hopefully spark an interest in
them for Cricket.

“I must say a big thanks to our sponsor, Queensway, since, without them, this would not be possible. Thanks also to the Club’s
Head Coach, Peter Persaud and three coaches and three assistants for the hard work they are putting in.
I hope this programme can produce some girls who join the other programmes at GCC so we can start a female team since Women’s cricket is getting bigger now” stated Yearwood.
