The Enmore Community Centre Cricket Club (ECCCC) launched its second Banks Beer-sponsored 100-ball cricket tournament on Sunday last at the Enmore Community Centre.
ECCCC Competitions Committee Chairman Anil Persaud was present at the presentation of the sponsorship cheque
Twenty teams on the East Coast of Demerara will compete for cash prizes and trophies in a 100-ball per side affair instead of the usual T20 encounter. After successfully organising the inaugural tournament last year, ECCCC has once more collaborated with the East Coast Cricket Committee for this year’s edition of the competition.
A Banks Beer representative indicated that the Banks brand is pleased once more to sponsor this ECCCC-organised tournament, since the club has a track record of delivering quality cricketing events. ECCCC Chairman Bheemraj Ramkelawan informed those present that with Banks DIH Ltd being a company of high standards, it is expected that all teams participating in the tournament adhere to the established rules and to respect the rights of the sponsors. He also thanked Banks DIH Ltd for this year’s sponsorship of the competition that will be played across six venues in four groups in a round-robin format.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the ECCCC competitions committee, Anil Persaud thanked the teams for their continued faith in the Committee in delivering quality competitions among teams on the East Coast. In outlining this year’s activities, he stated that in excess of 100 limited overs matches have been completed with two competitions presently at the semi-finals stage and the Banks Beer tournament set to be completed in mid-November. Two new youth tournaments will also be launched this weekend. First-round action is set to commence at 09:30h this Sunday at various venues.
