Ramsundar bags Survival Supermarket Golf Tournament

The President and Executive Members of the recently-elected Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) held their first meeting on Saturday, February 11, at the LBI cricket facility and unveiled their plans for the year.

The Bissoondyal Singhled Board will launch its cricket season with the Inter-Club First-Division Knockout 50-Over Cricket Tournament, which involves First-Division clubs in all five Associations affiliated to the DCB. The new marketing committee, which will be led by Anil Beharry, profession- al banker and former Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) President, has already secured sponsorship for this competition.

All the top players in the county of Demerara are expected to participate in the competition, which is slated to commence on February 25, 2023.

Cricket clubs are asked to make contact with Kavita Yadram, Chairperson of the DCB Competitions Committee on 655-1010. Contact can also be made with DCB Secretary Davteerth Anandjit on 617-8502 or any other Executive Member of the Board.

That tournament will be followed by the InterAssociation Under-17, Under-19, Under-21, Under-23, Senior T20 and Senior 50-Over. The Board has engaged sponsors for the above competitions.

The DCB aims to return to its former glory and dominance in Guyana’s cricket.

Outside of the competitions, the Board will conduct training for scorers, umpires, match referees, coaches, seminars for players and every activity that will improve the game in Demerara. Fundraising activities are also high on the agenda.

Speaking on his victory at the end of the tournament, an ecstatic Ramsundar said, "To be honest with you I feel real comfortable winning this tournament. For the longest while, especially with the rain I haven't played golf. The course was very nice and the greens are marvellous, the course was really sweet."

Also sharing his bit on the tournament was LGC Public Relations Officer (PRO) Paton George, who noted that the tournament was excellent and he was glad to see the golfers out in their num- bers and grateful to Survival Supermarket.

"What can I say about the sponsors: Survival has been with the LGC for many years sponsoring tournaments. They stepped up to the plate when we needed them as this week; they stepped up at the last minute and pulled off a great tournament. So, we'd like to thank them and we look forward to continuing working with them," George stated.

George also mentioned that on Saturday, February 25, 2023, golfing fans can come out once more as the Club hosts the DemLife golf tournament.
