Sueria Manufacturing, BCB partner for Mogu Mogu inter-school cricket

Every promise made to the stakeholders of Berbice cricket would be kept because the current leadership of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) is passionate about the work we do. We committed ourselves to organising cricket at all levels, we have already fulfilled that promise in just over two months and to be honest, the county of Berbice has not seen nothing yet as much more would be done in 2018 as we work overtime to return Berbice cricket to the top.”
Those were the words of BCB President Hilbert Foster at the launching for another major cricket tournament for youths in Berbice.

BCB on Friday last joined hands with Sueria Manufacturing Ltd of Eccles, East Demerara to officially launch a 30-Over Knock-out Cricket Tournament for Secondary Schools to be played by 19 Schools in Region Six (East Berbice-Canje) and 10 schools in Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice).
The main objectives of the Tournament, which is sponsored under the Mogu Mogu brand, are to identify cricketing talents in the school system, to encourage schools to invest in the game, to assist cricket clubs to attract new members and encourage more youths (males and females) to play the game at the competitive levels. Foster expressed gratitude to Sueria Manufacturing Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Frank Sanichara for his confidence in the Board, noting that Sanichara was already sponsoring the Countywide Magic Moments 20/20 Cricket Tournaments for teams in four Sub-Zones. He reassured Sanichara that the School Tournament, which would start as soon as the weather permitted, would be properly organised and achieve all of its objectives.
Sanichara, in brief remarks, praised the BCB for the work it was doing to transform cricket in Berbice, and stated that as a Berbician he was proud to play a part. He expressed the belief that sports were the best avenue to get youths away from crime.
The Inter-School Tournament is to be contested by Upper Corentyne Technical Institute, Line Path Secondary, Skeldon High, Tagore Memorial, Central Corentyne Secondary, Black Bush Polder Secondary, Winifred Gaskin Memorial, Lower Corentyne Secondary, Manchester Secondary, Port Mourant Secondary, JC Chandisingh Secondary, New Amsterdam Technical Institute, Canje Secondary, Berbice High School, Vrymens Erven Secondary, New Amsterdam Secondary, Berbice Educational Institute, and Tutorial Academy in Region Six. The schools in Region Five are Rosignol Secondary, No 8 Secondary, Ash Educational Institute, Woodley Park Secondary, Fraser Educational Institute, Fort Wellington Secondary, Bush Lot Secondary, Novar Secondary, and Mahaicony Secondary. The top two schools in both Regions would advance to the semi-finals before the grand finals, which would be played at the Albion Cricket Ground. All matches start at 11:00h. A maximum of two players would be allowed out of the 30-yard circle for the first five overs while five would be allowed out for the rest of the innings.
