Bel Air Rubis is supporting the Wakenaam Cricket Committee for the staging of a T20 competition there.
Speaking with the media at a simple presentation ceremony Thursday at the Bourda Market, Bel Air Rubis representative Melvern Subrina Singh thanked the Wakenaam Cricket Committee for giving them an opportunity to be associated with the game there, adding that they were delighted to extend support.
“In these areas such as Wakenaam, there is an abundance of talented youths. However, they need the necessary exposure to excel. Staging a competition can be somewhat taxing on the organisers especially when it comes to sponsorship so we have decided to contribute towards the development of the game there,” she posited.
She added that they are passionate about the game and will be looking forward to a successful and exciting competition.
She also wished the teams well.
In an invited comment, Secretary of the Wakenaam Cricket Committee Nazeer Mohamed, expressed gratitude to the sponsors, Lalta Gainda CEO of Bel Air Rubis and Ramesh Sunich of Trophy Stall for making the competition possible.
Mohamed informed that the tournament is set to commence tomorrow at the Wakenaam Community Centre ground, but adverse weather condition which left sections of the outfield waterlogged has put the matches in doubt, adding that excess sunshine is needed to get the ground match ready.
Mohamed pointed out that sponsorship is essential for the staging of competitions, adding that this is one of their main challenges. He informed that Good Success, Sans Souci Jaguars, Sans Souci and Zeelandia are in group A while Noitgedacht SC, Maria’s Pleasure and G Square Cavaliers SC are in zone B.
SS Jaguars are set to play Zeelandia at 09:30hrs while Maria’s Pleasure are schedule to play G Square Cavaliers at 13:30hrs in the opening fixtures on Sunday.
