Two day trial match to pick Demerara team set for Tuesday & Wednesday at DCC

May 10, 2015 Sports

After no official or any selectors turned up at the Wales Community Centre ground on Friday, the second day of the scheduled three-day cricket trial match to pick the Demerara team for the Guyana Cricket Board’s senior Inter-County three-day tournament tentatively set to commence on May 16, the day’s play was called off after Lunch.
With the players already dress in their cricket uniforms, both Umpires and the scorer at the venue which was bone dry on a day blessed with brilliant sunshine, there was no action in the first session due to the absence of the selectors and insufficient match balls.
The players were reportedly told not to leave ground before 16:00hrs and had to be content with watching the IPL t20 matches on Television at the venue. There was an issue with the Demerara Coach Gavin Nedd, the former Guyana First-Class off-spinner and the Board, resulting in Clive Grimond being appointed Head Coach of the Demerara team and Berbician Michael Hyles Franco, one the GCB Academy Coaches, being asked to assist him.
The second trial match is now fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday at the DCC ground in the City. All players are asked to be at DCC by 09:00hrs. Tomorrow has been designated a National Holiday to accommodate General Elections in Guyana.  (Sean Devers)
