Gambia
Cricket Association (GCA) has recently held a maiden introductory cricket
training course for military personnel at Farafenni Barrack.
The
course was meant to expand the cricket game to the length and breadth of the
country and to increase its popularity beyond Kanifing Municipality and West
Coast Region.
The
military personnel were trained in battling, balling and fielding during the
course of the training.
Captain
Babucarr Ngum of Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) applauded executive members of
Gambia Cricket Association (GCA) for coming up with such a very important
course, saying that the training would enable the military personnel to
participate in the game like any other sports.
He
appealed to the training participants to make best use of the knowledge and
skills they gained for the betterment and sustainability of the game and to
retain the skills so that they would help facilitate the same to others who
couldn’t get the opportunity to be here.
He
assured Gambia Cricket Association (GCA) of GAF’s full participation and
commitment to the discipline of the game as they seek for the games’ expansion.
