Mc Gill Super Stars Sports Club celebrates 28 years of existence

The now popular Mc Gill Super Stars Sports Club was founded on April 24th 1992 by members of the agricultural village of Canal #1, West Bank Demerara.
It was named after the Mc Gillivary Primary School in that village, which was attended by most of its past and present members.
Initially a countryside softball team, the club quickly developed into a hardball unit run and controlled by executive members, and is now indisputably one of the most dominant clubs of the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA).
Current club president is the captain Sudesh Persaud, who with fellow team mate Balram Aron are the only members of the club to have played in the club’s first hardball match and are still playing with the club presently.
From 1992 to 1999, this club played with great passion and determination, but was unable to cop a championship. That all changed from the year 2000, when Mc Gill Super Stars commenced its dominance of cricket on the West Demerara for 10 straight years, during which it won most of the competitions held by the WDCA and DCB.
The club has seen three generations of players coming through the ranks, and hopes that this would continue for a very long time.
From 1992 to 2020, the Club has achieved a lot, and has toured more than 5 islands in the Caribbean, hosting many successful fund-raisers and awards ceremonies.
The club has produced three national athletes over the years: right-handed batsman Travis Persaud, who captained the Guyana Under 19 Team to back-to-back regional titles in 2015 and 2016 in Jamaica and St Vincent respectively; left-arm spinner Kheshram Seyhodan and left-arm seamer Daniel Basdeo who were part of the Guyana Amazon Warriors Franchise in the inaugural season of the CPL.
Canal #1 Polder is known as the home of the “Mighty Mc Gill”, and the village will always be recognized for producing such a great Club and such great athletes.
