Tucber Park became the latest beneficiary of the ‘Project Cricket Gears’ initiative following the acquisition of equipment.
This was disclosed in an official release from the entity. According to the correspondence, the club received six white and tree-red balls. The release stated, “This project is very impressed with the nursery programme of the club. They give opportunities to many youths from a few depressed communities, including Angoy’s Avenue, where West Indies all-rounder Kevin Sinclair grew up.
This initiative will continue to assist [Tucber Park Cricket Club] TPCC and other clubs that have a strong youth program. The aim of this initiative is to help keep our young people off the streets where they are exposed to drugs and crimes and get them constructively occupied. “There has been a recent surge in teenage criminals, and let’s work together to eliminate this from our society,” said a statement from this joint initiative.”
In excess of 72 players from all three counties have been beneficiaries of the initiative. Additionally, two clubs in the Pomeroon area benefited from two used bats. Pomeroon, Leguan, and Wakenaam Cricket Committees and Cotton Tree Die Hard also received one box of red cricket balls each, and Cold Fusion Cricket Club received thirteen coloured uniforms.
