…Pledges to make Farm an Academy Centre
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has shifted its gear distribution programme to the East Bank Cricket Association (EBCA) with a donation of more than one million dollars’ worth of cricket equipment.
The presentation was made by GCB President Bissoondyal Singh to EBCA President Puneet Jaigopaul in the presence of executives and players of various clubs on East Bank of Demerara, and with GCB executives in attendance.
In addressing those gathered for this occasion, the GCB President expressed delight at making what he referred to as “a significant donation”. He remarked that “the donation is important not only in monetary terms, but its value to the youth players involved in the game on East Bank Demerara, allowing them to participate in training sessions and matches without having to consider the additional burden of purchasing gear.
“Consequently, we are happy that players took the time to attend this presentation, which tells us about your interest in the game and the exemplary work your executives are doing.”
