Everest Cricket Club has rescinded their decision to second a No Confidence Motion (NCM) against several executives of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) but the Sophia Cricket Club has now seconded a second motion.

This is according to a letter seen by this publication and electronically mailed to members of the GCA executive yesterday.

The No Confidence Motion, much like the first one earlier this year, has been filed  against Neil Barry snr., (President), Roger Harper (Vice-President), Emily Dodson (Marketing Manager), Mark Harper (Senior Selector) and Roderick Lovell (Junior Selector).

The motion was submitted by Public Relations Officer, Divesh Ramjattan of Gandhi Youth Organisation while the  document seconding the motion was signed by Akeem Hinds, secretary of Sophia Cricket Club.

The letter, addressed to Secretary of the GCA, Deborah McNicol, stated, “With regards to the Georgetown Cricket Association’s Fourth Executive meeting held via zoom on the 3rd of May 2021, I had requested a copy of the letter which was read aloud by yourself [Deborah McNicol] dated 8th April 202, from Everest Cricket Club indicating their withdrawal of Seconding a No Confidence Motion submitted by myself dated the 1st of March, 2021.

“I trust that indeed it was authentic which the Executives agreed that since there is no seconder for such a motion that it becomes null and void. I too agree that the No Confidence Motion dated the 1st March, 2021 is null and void.

“This now brings me to the submission of another No Confidence Motion dated the 12th of April, 2021 where an original hard copy was delivered to your place of work and addressed to you at 3:30pm on the 3rd May, 2021.”

The GCA executives were elected on January 28 at the Muslim Youth Organisation where Barry was elected President along with Azad Ibrahim (Vice-President), Roger Harper (Vice-President), Deborah McNichol (Secretary), Captain Andre McFarlene (Assistant Secretary), Brother Imran Ally (Treasurer), DSP Amrit Das (Assistant Treasurer), Dodson (Marketing Manager), Ramjattan (PRO), Shaun Massiah (Competitions Committee Chairman), Parmesar (Auditor)
