On the 24th of April 1992, the now popular Mc Gill Super Stars Sports Club was founded by members of the agricultural village known as Canal Number One located on the West Bank of the Demerara River. The Club was named after a primary school located in Canal #1 called Mc Gillivray Primary School which most of its past and present members attended.
The club first started out as a softball team in the countryside but quickly developed into a hardball unit which was run and controlled by executive members.
The club now stands firm as one of the most dominant clubs on the West Demerara Cricket Association Panel.
The current club’s president and captain, Sudesh Persaud, and teammate Balram Aron, are the only members that played the first hardball match with the team, and are still playing with the club presently.
From 1992-1999 the club played with great passion and determination but were unable to cop a championship. That all changed from the year 2000 when Mc Gill Super Stars began dominating cricket on the West Demerara.
For 10 straight years they would win the majority of the competitions held by the WDCA. The club has seen three generations of players coming through the ranks and hopes that this will continue for a very long time. From 1992 to 2020, the club has achieved a lot, touring more than five islands in the Caribbean, hosting many successful fundraisers and award ceremonies.
The club has produced three national athletes over the years, right handed batsman Travis Persaud, who captained the Guyana under-19 team to back-to-back regional titles in 2015 and 2016 in Jamaica and St Vincent respectively as well as left arm spinner Kheshram Seyhodan and left arm seamer Daniel Basdeo, who was part of the Guyana Amazon Warriors Franchise in the inaugural season of the CPL.
