“Julian, Anthony, Smartt and the Secretary Tamesh have done a good job. They are carrying on the works that we started a few years ago to help the youngsters in New Amsterdam and surrounding areas,” Carl snr said. Over the past years, Tucber Park has been moving from strength to strength in producing solid players. West Indies senior player Romario Shepherd and Guyana pacer Nial Smith are the latest elite products from the New Amsterdam-based club.

The former manager of the championship winning Guyana team in the Stanford T20, Carl Moore has said he is impressed and beyond proud of both Shepherd and Smith, who began their cricketing careers at the TPCC. Well-known as “Mr Moore”, Carl took up the TPCC mantle in 1999. He described Smith and Shepherd as committed and disciplined players. He is hoping that this duo would inspire the upcoming talents at TPCC.

In addition to Tremayne Smartt, Candacy Atkins, who played for USA, is also another West Indies female product of TPCC. Eugene La Fleur is another proud product of TPCC. He was the captain the Guyana U-19 Team in 2008. The likes of former senior Berbice players Devon Clements and Maxie De Jonge, along with D’Andrade, have played for UWI Vice Chancellor vs Zimbabwe back in 2010. They are products from the TPCC. The TPCC produced more than 40 National Youth players in recent years. Another election for the TPCC is due in two years’ time. (GTimes)
