The Rockaway Auto Sales in collaboration the East Coast Cricket Board have launched two Cricket leagues on the East Coast of Demerara – a Premier league and Super league. The East Coast Cricket Board consists of forty-four teams. The eight top teams will be in the Premier league and the other 36 will form the Super league.
At the conclusion of the competitions, a decision would be made as to the elevation of teams from the Super league to the Premier league and simultaneously moving down of teams from the Premier league to the Super league so as to keep a very high standard intact – this would be done based on the teams performance.
The Premier League teams will participate in a round robin 40 over competition and the Super league teams will participate in a 20/20 round robin competition consisting of all the other 36 teams on the East Coast.
Rockaway Auto Sales have always been involved in sponsoring cricket competitions and this year in collaboration with East Coast Cricket Board have decided to increase the magnitude of their contribution. Trophies and monetary prizes will be at stake.
A release from the ECCB noted that, Rockaway Auto Sales is now a part of the East Coast family that is committed to the advancement of the sport at all levels and President Bissoondyal Singh and the Executives of the East Coast Cricket Board have expressed their sincere gratitude to the management and staff of that company. With the addition of Rockaway Auto Sales, the total sponsors for East Coast Cricket Board & East Coast Cricket are now seven.
Meanwhile, the premier League competition is set to start on Sunday with several matches.
In the fixtures starting at 11:00am: Lusignan face Strathaven at Lusignan Ground with umpires G. Sookdeo and R. Adonis calling play. Enterprise challenge Buxton at Buxton Ground with G. D’Aguiar and Dhanraj officiating.
LBI ‘A’ tackle Enmore at Enmore Ground with O. Samaroo and R. Albert calling play. Unity battle Better Hope at Better Hope Ground with K. Baker and J. C. Singh the umpires.
Both competitions will be played on a round robin basis. The top four in the Premier league will advance to the semis, while in the Super league, which has been divided into zones, the top two from each zone will advance to the quarterfinals.
The Super league gets underway on October 24 and the fixtures will be published shortly.
