At the simple handing over ceremony on Tuesday, Marketing Manager of Guyana Brewery Inc (GBI), Melinda Telesford, shared: “Smalta is big on supporting sport, and this is the perfect event to be part of, as it promotes the development of not only cricket, but women’s cricket as well.”
President of the Malteenoes Cricket Club and manager of the girls programme, Deborah McNichols, highlighted, “This is perfect for female cricket, and I can see this growing into something special, where future national cricketers are produced.”
And President of the Georgetown Cricket Association, Neil Barry Sr, shared, “The development of the female game is something we have been lacking with, and hopefully this kickstarts a nucleus of players that we can develop for the game.”
The programme will cater to young girls from the age of 12, with various venues around Georgetown being utilised for the running of the camp.
