West Indies Domestic: Anguillians attain more posts

The Annual General Meeting of the Leeward Islands Cricket Association proved that Anguillians are becoming more and more influential in regional cricket. Both Mr. E. Valentine Banks and Mr. David S. Kenworthy were returned unopposed as the President of the LICA and Hon. Secretary of LICA respectively for a third term. Heather Ritchie of Anguilla also assumed the post of Honorary Treasurer. Carlisle Powell of Nevis also remained as Vice-President of LICA.

Mr. Ralph Hodge was also retained as Manager of the Leeward Islands Under 19 team with Ingleton Liburd of St.Kitts as his coach. Hodge, who has been the manager for the past 2 years, will also assume a new post this year, that of selector of the under 19 team along with Liburd and a member of the senior selection panel.

Cardigan Connor of Anguilla has also been retained as one of the under 15 selectors along with Hayden Walsh of Antigua (coach of under 15 team) and Vernon Springer of St.Kitts (manager of the under 15 team). Alkins Rogers of Anguilla also attained the post of senior selector along with Luther Kelly of St.Kitts and team coach John Archibald. It was also noted that Mr. Paullivor Rogers of Anguilla was among four other Leeward Islanders who passed the West Indies senior coaching course.

The meeting proved to be extremely productive and touched on various topics such as the effects of Hurrican Lenny and why Anguilla was unable to host a Busta Cup match, sponsorship and the successful training camps held recently. Hopefully the upcoming year is a bright and prosperous one for Leeward Islands cricket.
