WEST Indies U-19 World Cup player, Shamar Apple, is among those expected to contribute outstanding performances when the Demerara Cricket Board 50-overs U-19 Inter-Association Cricket Tournament commences on Sunday February 22.
The commencement of this tournament is a prelude to the Mashramani actives with the national Float parade set for the next day as Guyana celebrates its 56th Anniversary as a Republic.
Five Association Teams – West Demerara, East Coast, Georgetown, East Bank and Upper Demerara – will battle for the top spot in a tournament in which defending champion, Georgetown, will start as favourites.
Apart from Apple, the City side boast, the likes of Captain Dave Mohabir, Emmanuel Lewis, pacer Shane Prince and Lomar Seecharran who scored a century and a fifty in recent DCB Association 50-overs U-16 tournament.
West Demerara will be led by talented Pameshwar Ram while East Coast’s Captain is Arun Gainda.
