President of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) Anil Beharry joined an official delegation of the Rose Hall
Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) in paying a courtesy call on Minister within the Ministry of Education with responsibilities for Sports, Ms. Nicolette Henry at her Main Street Georgetown Office.
Beharry and RHTY&SC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster discussed areas of cooperation to lift the standard of the game in the Ancient county. Beharry informed the minister of the work of the BCB over the years, its present activities and plans for the future.
The former Berbice Inter County all-rounder discussed avenues of assistance from the Government of Guyana for the hosting of the 2016 edition of the BCB Independence Cup, a joint project with the Berbice Chamber of Commerce.
The BCB intends to make the tournament a memorable event in 2016 as it would be one of the main activities in Berbice for the historic national 50th anniversary. Foster sought the cooperation of Minister Henry to assist less fortunate clubs with gear, especially cricket balls. He informed the Minister that apart from a handful of clubs, most others struggle to survive and this is affecting their ability to properly prepare youths to fulfill their full potential.
Minister Henry expressed her interest in the project, stating that she likes the idea of assisting clubs in Berbice. Among clubs that would benefit if the project is realised are Berbice River, Whim, Kildonan, Courtland, Rose Hall Canje, Mount Sinai, Kennard’s Memorial and Fyrish. Also discussed was the possibility of support for a three-day tournament.
Foster, in an invited comment stated that despite resigning from the BCB for personal reasons, he remains committed to the development of Berbice cricket and is quite passionate about assisting other clubs in their development thrust.
