Berbice youth cricketers benefit from educational grants

Minister Susan Rodrigues hands over grant to one of the youth cricketers.

“Since 2018, the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) has placed special emphasis on the importance of education as we are fully aware that it is the key to success. We are therefore delighted that our parent body, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has joined hands with us in the quest to get youths to understand the importance of an educational background.”

Those were the words of BCB President, Hilbert Foster at a presentation ceremony to hand out grants to 10 youth cricketers at the St. Francis Centre, Rose Hall Town, under the Guyana Cricket Board/Dave West Indian Imports Educational Trust Fund initiative.

The 10 cricketers who received the grants worth $20,000 each, were drawn from across the county and were selected by the management of the different teams.
