Welcome To DCC Supporters Trust Fund
The Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) was established in 1912 as an alternative to the then British-dominated Georgetown Cricket Club. Formed by Portuguese businessmen, the club’s membership was open to anyone after the First World War and went on to produce a number of world class cricketers, such as Lance Gibbs, Clive Lloyd and Roy Fredericks. DCC also turned out a number of other players who represented the national team and the West Indies. Among them are the Christiani brothers – Cyril and Robert; Roger Harper; Keith Semple; and more recently Travis Dowlin, Christopher Barnwell and Derwin Christian. DCC also produced two members of the Under-19 World Cup winning team in Bangladesh 2016 with Tevin Imlach and Kemo Paul playing key roles in the victory.
Imlach and Paul both benefited from the youth development program run by DCC under the guidance of Coach Garvin Nedd. For at least 10 years now the program has regularly supplied players to the national Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19 teams. Support for this program – especially of the financial kind – is however vital for its sustenance, and thus the idea for this website was born.
