Newly elected President of the Berbice Cricket Board, Hilbert Foster is storming ahead to fulfill his pledge to play cricket at all levels in Berbice. The Berbice Cricket Board on Wednesday last joined hands with Mr. Frank Sanichara of Sueria Manufacturing to launch the four zones 20/20 Cricket Tournaments for teams in Berbice under the Magic Moments brand. The 20/20 Tournaments would be played in four zones – West Berbice, New Amsterdam/Canje, Lower/Central Corentyne and Upper Corentyne/Black Bush Polder.
Foster, at the simple presentation ceremony stated that Berbice Cricket in a short span of six months, would once again be the pride of Guyana and stated that the response of Corporate Guyana has been overwhelming. The Berbice Cricket Board in 2018 plans to host at least fifteen tournaments and Foster hinted that all the sponsorship needed has already been secured. Each of the four Zones Tournaments would be played on a Knockout basis and would have their own Champions. Two matches per day would be played at the same venue in order to attract spectators and also to complete the fixtures as early as possible.
The main objectives of the Magic Moments Second Division 20/20 Tournaments are to identify new cricketing talents, to promote social cohesion among residents, to renew passion for Village Cricket and to renew the bond between the Berbice Cricket Board, Clubs and the general public.
The Berbice Cricket Board President stated that at the end of the four different Zones Tournaments, the four winners would clash the Overall Berbice 20/20 Titles. He also disclosed that a 40-Over per side Second Division Cup would also be organised immediately after the completion of the 20/20 Tournaments.
He issued an appeal to all Second Division Teams in Berbice to call Berbice Cricket Board Secretary Rabindranauth (Robby) Saywack on Telephone number 660-0049 to register on or before the 10th March, 2018. Cricket Clubs are also urged to prepare teams at the Under-15, Under-17, Under-19, Under-21, Female, Intermediate, Double Wicket and First Division levels. Foster, also expressed gratitude to Sueria’s CEO Frank Sanichara and the Magic Moments brand for their confidence in the Management of the Berbice Cricket Board. He reassured the sponsor that all four tournaments would be well organised and funds would be accounted for.
Sanichara and Brands Manager Edward Layne both expressed confidence in the Berbice Cricket Board organising skills under the proven leadership skills of Foster and in achieving all of the tournaments’ objectives. Sanichara, a Berbician by birth who once represented the highly rated Albion Cricket Club, stated that he was pleased to invest in Berbice Cricket. He urged the Berbice Cricket Board to take the game into all areas of the ancient county and committed his Company to more investment in the future. The four tournaments are expected to start by the third weekend in March, 2018.
