GCB donates under-13 cricket equipment to county boards
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) on Tuesday donated a set of under-13 cricket equipment to Demerara and Essequibo at the national Gymnasium. The small presentation was done after the third trial match was played between the two teams.
A series of trial matches has been arranged after the inaugural GCB Under-13 40-overs Inter-County Tournament was cancelled on Saturday, December 3, due to persistent heavy rainfall across the country. The four matches organized will be used to select a Guyana Under-13 squad to participate in a bilateral series against a touring Trinidad and Tobago Under-13 team, scheduled to arrive in Guyana on Friday, December 9. The two teams will play four (4) matches between December 10 and 18.
The GCB plans to add the Under-13 Inter-County to its calendar of activities, making it an annual event. This is in keeping with the five-year development plan outlined by this new administration.
Present at the handing over ceremony were GCB Secretary Ronald Williams, Assistant Secretary Davteerth Anandjit, Territorial Development Officer/Admin Assistant Kavita Yadram, and Junior Selection Panel Chairman Andre Percival.
The GCB will hand over gear to the Berbice team during their match against Demerara.
