Congrats Delray! As I am not in the greatest of health, this news has certainly lifted my spirit! You have what it takes to play at the highest level! I have no doubt that one day very soon you will be greatly rewarded for your on field accomplishments. You have made your country proud!Stay humble,focused and continue to work hard. Looking forward to seeing you capped as a SENIOR England Team member!
I am equally as proud of Kamau Leverock who is making great strides in the Americas Cup Team. I have watched you from a youngster, who also has the attitude and talent to make his mark at a higher level. Wishing you both the very best and many blessings!
Get well soon Mr. Blakeney.
Congratulations Delray!!!
Well done Delray!keep working hard and don’t take anything for granted.You have all the tools to become a senior player for the lions.Continue to be an example for the younger players who have the same ambition as you.Good luck in the future….
Absolutely fantastic performance Delray, what a debut!!!, As far as I am concerned this performance from an International perspective ranks right up there with Alma “Champ” Hunts outstanding performances in West Indian Trial Matches in Trinidad, Clay Smith’s Centuries in the Red Stripe Cup, Glen Blakeney’s half centuries in the Red Stripe Cup and Chris Douglas’s half-century against the West Indies in Toronto. Congrats to you, stay focused and keep working at your game, nuff respect to his Dad and Mom for keeping him grounded and backing him 100%, I am also very encouraged by Kamau Leverock’s performances in the West Indies, he has been in double figures every time he has batted and although he has not gone on to capitalize on some great starts, he has proven to me that he has the ability to, if he persists he will go on to make some big runs….I am encouraged by what I see happening in Bermuda Cricket and I think our future will be bright….Nuff respect to the BCB, the clubs, coaches and all those who contribute to the progress we see in this much loved sport…..
I don’t know you young man, but I am super proud of you and your accomplishments! Keep up the superb performances. God bless!
