The new Executive of the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) recently held its first Statutory Meeting and announced plans for the construction of an all-weather practice facility.
A number of projects were also decided for the year, including increasing the pool of youth cricketers and growing the general membership of the club.
The brain child of Owen John, the construction of the new practice facility, which will have three pitches, has an estimated price tag of $3.3 million.
Several businesses have provided sponsorship for this project. MSC hopes to develop the facility to also accommodate basketball, volleyball and futsal, in addition to cricket.
The entire facility, which will cost approximately $6.5 million, will be rented to other sports organisations to provide a source of revenue for the Club. The club also has plans for the installation of floodlights and is seeking sponsorship for this project.
Past Presidents Claude Raphael, Lance Hinds, and Immediate Past President Neil Barry, overseas and former players have all indicated their willingness to contribute to the club’s continued development.
