Region Six Secondary Schools start to benefit from BCB/Lochan Samkarran Cricket

REPRESENTATIVES of 14 secondary schools turned up at the St Francis Community Centre Training Hall last week to receive close to $2M worth of uniforms and cricket gear as part of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB)/Lochan Samkarran School cricket programme.

The schools who are based in Region Six were mainly represented by their head teachers. Three schools were absent at the simple presentation ceremony and would receive their supply of items later this week when executives of the BCB visit them.

Each school received a package that consisted of 15 pairs of branded white cricket uniforms, two boxes of red balls and some cricket gear. Among the gear were bats, batting gloves, seed guards and wicket-keeping gloves.

The schools who benefitted were Line Path, Skeldon High, Black Bush Polder, Manchester, Winifred Gaskin, Corentyne Comprehensive, JC Chandisingh, Lower Corentyne, Port Mourant, Canje Secondary, Berbice High, Vryman’s Erven, BEI and Tutorial Academy. Absent were Tagore Memorial, Central Corentyne and New Amsterdam.
