Noble House Sea Foods have once again thrown their support behind the Georgetown Cricket Association by sponsoring their Second Division 2 day competition which is expected to start this weekend. The tournament was launched yesterday at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground,
Bourda. The fourteen teams taking part in this year’s competition have been divided into two zones and will play each other once with the top two from each zone going through to the semifinals.
Personnel Manager of Noble House Sea Foods, Mr. Piercy Corlette said that they are happy to be part of the development of cricket in the city once again and hoped the competition will be keenly contested. He wished all the teams well.
Chairman of the GCA competitions committee Shawn Massiah said the previous tournament did well for the youths with some of them going on to play for the national team at the U-15 and U-19 levels.
Meanwhile, chairman of the GCA, former West Indies vice captain Roger Harper, thanked the sponsor for coming on board once again. He said that the longer version of the game showcase talent and develop the skills of the players with batsmen getting an opportunity to spend more time at the crease. He urged the cricketers to guard against indiscipline.
The first and second place teams will take home $100,000 and $60,000 worth in prizes respectively.
Defending champions GNIC will battle with Ace Warriors, Police, Transport, Vikings, Everest Cricket Club and Third Class in zone A, while Zone B will see UG, GDF, GYO, GCC, DCC, MYO and MSC clashing for a spot in final four. (Zaheer Mohamed)
