The Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) acknowledged the sterling contributions of several of its cricketers and hockey players at a Cocktail and Awards Ceremony held on Friday, November 23.
GCC’s President, Lionel Jaikaram, said in recent years the club’s hockey teams have reached new heights, and under the stewardship of cricket coach, Monty Lynch, ‘cricket rocks at GCC again’.
“Congratulations and thank you to coach Monty Lynch. His efforts have paid off…Mr. Philip Fernandes; GCC also thank and congratulate you tonight. Under your management our hockey teams have reached new heights,” Jaikaram said.
Commenting on the performance of the club’s cricketers, Jaikaram stated, “Three recent victories come immediately to mind. Our first division side won the Queensway 50 overs knock-out competition and our second-division team won the NBS 40 over knock-out competition. Just recently as last Saturday, the senior pair of Ramnaresh Sarwan and Leon Johnson won the inaugural GCC double wicket invitational. Cricket rocks at GCC again!”
The president also congratulated the club’s hockey teams, noting: “GCC’s senior men are the GT&T national indoor champions for 2012. They were also runners-up in the last Diamond Mineral Water International Indoor Festival and are joint leaders in the current Farfan and Mendes Outdoor League. The junior team, are the winners of this year’s Brydens Indoor classic and the veteran’s team are the GT&T national champions in that division.”
In addition to the hard work and dedication of the coaches and players, Jaikaram also acknowledged the contributions of key members of the club who have played an integral role in advancing GCC’s development.
“Our overwhelming thanks go to Mr. Les Ramahlo and Mr. Ramsay Ali, and the companies they represent for their generous support in making it possible for Coach Monty Lynch to give his services full-time to our cricket teams. Thanks also to Mr. Surendra Etwaroo, whom many of us know as Papoo, who also supports this effort,” Jaikaram said.
Ali is the Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Products Limited and Ramahlo is the General Manager of Noble House Seafood.
Both Coaches Lynch and Fernandes commended their players for the commitment and dedication they have shown and encouraged them to continue striving for excellence.
