The Bermuda Cricket Board today announced that the Under 13 League will be called the Bermuda Security Group Under 13 League. The league will be starting out this season under much safer conditions thanks to the generous support once again of the Bermuda Security Group. Their direct investment in youth cricket at the grassroots level has allowed for the purchase of helmets to ensure the safety of our younger players. Each team will also be provided with 12 playing shirts kindly provided by BSG. This will be the third consecutive season that BSG have sponsored the U13 League which continues to grow in popularity and strength with 10 teams being fielded this year.

Reginald Pearman, the Bermuda Cricket Board President said, ³Working with the Youth of Bermuda is one of the main drives of the development program of the BCB. We feel very strongly in cricket providing our youth with structure and discipline as well as a fun and safe environment in which they can spend their time after school. Without the support from the Bermuda Security Group this isn¹t possible and so we are truly appreciative of the opportunities that their support has provided. It is exciting to know that as a direct consequence of the U13 League there is now a National U13 team that we are hoping will be competing internationally later this year.

Also, maybe something of note for the first time this year we will be having an all girls team in the U10 League and girls have been invited to join the U13 League as well so we are hoping that the BSG U13 League will soon target not only boys but girls and even all girls teams as well.²
 

Paul Ross, the VP Business Development and Finance of the Bermuda Security Group said, ³It is a pleasure for Bermuda Security Group to be involved in sponsoring the U13 League and thinking that one day several of these players may be representing the country in the World Cup. We view this investment in the youth program as part of our responsibility to ensuring that we have a better Bermuda for years to come. When we see the excitement, passion, and the fun experienced through sport we are optimistic for the future of cricket and know that the so called ³minnows² can and will continue to surprise the more established test nations. This commitment to the U13 League is just one piece of the overall plan for cricket in Bermuda and we are proud to be associated with the BCB in this venture.² (Courtesy of Island Stats)
