The Annual General Meeting and election of office-bearers of the Upper Demerara Cricket Association (UDCA) were held on Saturday at the Hymara Park in Linden. It was supervised by president of the Guyana Cricket Board, Mr. Bissoondyal Singh.
Those elected to serve in executive positions of the UDCA are as follows: President – Bradley Fredericks; VP – Andrew Forsythe; Secretary – Jacquey Bourne; Assistant Secretary – Nick Hartman; Treasurer – Jeremy Johnson; Assistant Treasurer – Ryan Piggot. The Auditors are Fintech Accountants, and the Organizing Secretary/PRO is Kollis Smith. The Committee Members are Karil Smith, Clayton Van Hersel and Pheona David.
In an invited comment, Fredericks noted that he had contested an inter-district tournament recently and there were challenges in his previous term, until the UDCA were able to have a competition staged earlier this year and an Under-17 team played in an inter-district competition also this year.
He said, “We were able to have three truckloads of dirt to build three wickets. Hopefully, with these three loads of stuff, we can have three grounds ready, to expand the game. In so doing, we will also have the Mackenzie Sports Club ground available for cricket.”
