BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Feb. 24, 2022– A very pleasant time of the day to all players, fans, spectators and cricket enthusiasts!
After a spectacular Marathon and a week break, the much anticipated starting of the Harrison Parks Cricket Competition for 2022 kicks off this weekend. Thanks to our ever supportive sponsor BOWEN AND BOWEN!
During the pandemic break, we have lost some of our well-loved supporters and fans. May their souls rest in peace! No names will be mentioned in order to avoid much ambiguities.
This year’s Marathon to my knowledge was very spectacular and successful. There were the regular teams and some new ones. At the end of the two-day Marathon, which was well organized by the Belize National Cricket Association headed by Dr. Roy Young, prizes were won by the following: First prize went to Belize Defence Force Team, receiving $1,000.00 donated by the Belize Sports Council; followed by second place winner, Wicked Eleven of Flowers Bank with $500.00 donated by Belize Rural North Area Representative, Hon. Marconi Leal. A special prize of $200.00 went to a newly formed team, Brave Eleven Reload of Willows Bank, captained by a very experienced lover of cricket, Mr. Garrett Joseph. This donation was presented to him and his team for the Most Disciplined Team in the Marathon. Special recognition goes to SPIEZ INTERNATIONAL for supporting the spirit of cricket in kind. Spiez International have assisted 10 out of the 16 teams with uniforms plus. Thanks, Spiez!
