THE DEMERARA Cricket Club (DCC) in conjunction with the Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) will, tonight, commission the lights that have been recently installed, with Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr Frank Anthony MP doing the honours. He is also expected to deliver the first ball in the commissioning match between DCC and Rest of Georgetown.
During the day, there will be lots of entertainment and barbecue will be on sale. The club’s coach Garvin Nedd will conduct a training session for Under-13 cricketers, which will be followed by an Under-15 T20 match between DCC and their nemesis at this level – Guyana National Industrial Corporation Sports Club.
The club extends a cordial invitation to the general public to come and be a part of the day’s activities, which will have a small cover charge being applied towards the continued development of the club’s facilities.
According to a press release from the club, the lights will also benefit the community and it is hoped that this invitation will morph into an annual event in the calendar of the larger national Independence Day celebrations.
Teams for the Commissioning match which bowls off at 19:00hrs will come from DCC – Christopher Barnwell, Trevon Griffith, Brian Sattaur, Sherfane Rutherford, Kemol Savory, Paul Wintz, Kemo Paul, Antonell Atwell, Totaram Bishun and Dexter George. The coach is Garvin Nedd and the manager is Robert ‘Pacer’ Adonis.
Rest of Georgetown – Shemroy Barrington, Joshua Wade, Seon Daniels, Collis Butts, Troy Gonsalves, Keon Morris, Cordell Mars, Ricardo Adams, Robin Bacchus, Rawle Browne, Joseph Perry, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Ronaldo Ali Mohamed and Leroy Bristol, with Quason Nedd executing the duties of coach.
