Opening Remarks
The Barbados Nation
Sunday, May 24, 1998
More than 1 300 cricketers left the pre-season controversy behind them
and donned their whites yesterday to herald the start of the Barbados
Cricket Association (BCA) season, generally regarded as the showpiece
of the local sporting calender.
The last minute announcement of sponsorship for both the First and
Second Division competitions lifted spirits somewhat and at least ten
batsmen responded with centuries.
Pride of place must go to Brian Johnson and Courtney Browne who
illuminated the BET ground as their team recorded the day’s highest
score in the Courts/Suzuki Division 1 competition.
Johnson made 116 and Browne exactly 100 as BET piled up 283 for four
against Pickwick.
There were six centuries in the Intermediate Division and two in the
Bubba’s/Lynch’s Insurance Division 2.
