GCA suspends cricketing activities over the weekend

The Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) has had a successful 2019/2020 season of cricket thus, however, with the current situation that entails the results of the 2020 general elections the association has seen it fit to halt all cricketing action over the weekend.
Play is set to resume next week on March 14, 2020.

In an interview with Guyana Times Sport, Chairman of the GCA Competitions Committee, Shaun Massiah said, “Our competition is at that stage where it has a couple of matches remaining. These matches are between Police and GDF and as we no these men are in line with the elections at the moment. In this case we have paused for elections, cause some persons have been working as well and persons were hardly training because of the election tension.”
Massiah also went on to state that the next week they will resume cricket once everything has settled in the country. He stated that his expectations have been met as the games have being going according to plan and with just a few more games remaining, better is yet to come.
He also noted that the current cricket season could have been completed but with a few ongoing county competitions, the grounds are occupied in Georgetown.
Massiah also said, “From the winner and runner-up of the final of the NBS 40 overs cricket, the teams have a chance to compete in ‘the Clash of the Champions’. This competition will see the winner and runner-up (teams) from Georgetown battling the winner and runner-up teams from Berbice.”
The senior players will be expected to employ their best efforts to win games, since they will want to advance in the ranking and even be selected for the Country’s franchise cricket.
