Tucber Park CC extends gratitude to Government after installation of lights

The New Amsterdam-based cricket club, Tucber Park, has extended gratitude to the Government of Guyana after the recent upgrades on the ground.
The ground, which is opposite the Berbice High School, can proudly boast lights, washroom facilities, side screens, pavilions and a brand-new pitch that was relayed.

In a social media post, Tucber Park Cricket, which is the home of current West Indies international players Romario Shepherd and Shamar Joseph, extended gratitude to President Irfaan Ali and his Sports Ministers.
“Our executive and members extend our profound gratitude to the President, Irfaan Ali, Charles Ramson and Hon Steven Jacobs-Minister within the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport for the Government of Guyana and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport – Guyana installation of lights at the Berbice High School Ground.”
“This is in addition to the construction of Washroom Facilities, Side Screen and Relaying of the pitch, all which were previously done by the Government through the Regional Democratic Council Region No.6,” the Tucber Park post stated.
The cricket club added: “Having produced over eighty-five players for Berbice, Guyana and the West Indies with the likes of Romario Shepherd, Shamar Joseph, Nial Smith and Zeynul Ramsammy among others, we see this as Government’s commitment to the development of sports more-so cricket in the ancient county and Guyana at large.”
In addition to the household names produced by the clubs, legendary administrator Carl Moore has played a pivotal role in shaping the lives of youths positively. He was the sole source at Tucber Park Cricket Club, then his son Julian Moore, a certified coach, took over the mantle.
Currently, the likes of Orlando Tanner, who is now a qualified and certified Level Three coach, and former West Indies Women’s player Tremayne Smartt are directing the day-to-day affairs at the club.
On a daily basis, post school, more than 50 youths are out training. With the lights installed, training will continue for a longer period.
