As the parent of a child who participated in the program for the first time this year, I want to thank the BCB and Tokio Millenium for offering the program. It was very well run. I was impressed overall by the program but in particular by the young adult cricketers who assisted with the program. They set a great example to the younger participants. IMO, BCB did a remarkable job with the children and teaching them basic cricket skills. Well done to BCB and Tokio Millenium with particular thanks to Tokio Millenium for their continued support of sports for Bermuda’s children.
