Two more youngsters benefit from cricket donation project

FEMALE player Jade

Campbell and her teammate, Enrique Mickle, were the latest young cricketers to benefit from ‘Project Cricket Gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana.’

The initiative is a joint project between Anil Beharry and Kishan Das.

Both players are products of Rose Hall Community Centre CC.

Thirteen-year-old Campbell, a student of New Amsterdam Multilateral Secondary School, is a fast bowler and was the only female cricketer to be selected in the Berbice 2022 under-13 male squad.

Mickle, a student of Canje Secondary School, is a left arm orthodox spinner, who represented Berbice last year at the U-15 level.

He was in the Select 11 for the 2023 tournament.

Both players received one pair of batting gloves each.

The young striving cricketers were very thankful for the gesture.

Total cricket-related items received/purchased so far include $370,000 in cash, thirteen colored cricket uniforms, two trophies, seventeen pairs of cricket boots, thirty pairs of batting pads, thirty-one cricket bats, twenty-eight pairs of batting gloves, twenty-one thigh pads, three pairs of wicket-keeping pads, four arm guards, two boxes, nine cricket bags, six bat rubbers, six helmets and one softball cricket bat.

In addition to the above, $600,000 worth in gear was donated by Sheik Mohamed, former National wicket-keeper/batsman.

All cash collected is being used to purchase needed cricket gear.

To date, sixty-three young players from all three counties of Guyana have benefitted from the programme.

Cricket-related items, used or new, are distributed free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana.

Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the re - cipients.

Talent spotting is being done across the country and club leaders also assist to identify talent. Progressive and well managed cricket clubs with a youth programme will also benefit.

Anyone interested in contributing can contact Anil Beharry on 623 6875 or Kishan Das on 1 718 664 0896.

Vishok and Danny to challenge Ramchand for SI&C Inc Group 3 C/Ship

The competition is heating up as the Secure Innovations & Concepts Inc. (SI&C Inc) Group 3 Championship gears up for Round 2, which is set to take place tomorrow at the Timehri Race track for the South Dakota Grand Prix, powered by ENet.

Following a thrilling opening round, fans eagerly anticipate the return of two top contenders: Vishok Persaud, in his Lotus, and Danny Persaud, in the Miata, both of whom missed

Round 1.

Currently leading the championship is the tal - ented Anand Ramchand, who will face stiff competition as several formidable competitors make their much-anticipated comeback.

After missing out on the first round, Vishok will look to make up for lost ground.

Piloting his Lotus, he has showcased remarkable skill and determination in previous championships. Also making his return to competition is Danny, who will once again be behind the wheel of his powerful Miata. Known for his aggressive driving style and ability to push his car to its limits, Danny Persaud is a force to be reckoned with on the race track.

Though he missed Round 1, like Vishok, his past performances have made him a formidable contender.

Anand Ramchand leads the SI&C Inc. Group 3 Championship. He will undoubtedly aim to extend his lead and further solidify his position as the championship favourite. However, with the return of Vishok and Danny Persaud, he cannot afford to rest, as the competition promises to be fierce.
