Hinds back as Kensington Cricket Club president

KINGSTON:

Former West Indies and Jamaica cricketer Wavell Hinds has been returned unopposed as President of Kensington Cricket Club, marking the start of his second consecutive three-year term.

This follows a historic constitutional change by the club, extending the tenure of elected officials from one year to three years to enhance continuity and strategic development.

Hinds, who has served with distinction over the past term, expressed gratitude for the continued confidence placed in his leadership.

"I'm humbled and grateful for the trust and belief placed in me by my clubmates," he said. "Continued service to this great institution is a small gesture that I can return in comparison to the enormous support and benefits that I've received.

"Many thanks to my management committee members and our membership at large. We will continue to serve and protect our beautiful game and its players."

The club recently won the Michael Holding Senior Cup and Hinds noted that the win was an exciting achievement for the club and he looks forward to more success on and off the field.

Joining the president for the new term are a dynamic and experienced executive team: Radcliffe Daley - first vice-president, David Bernard Jr - second vice-president, Carole Beckford - honorary secretary, Dadrie Nichol - treasurer, Denniel Griffiths - assistant secretary/treasurer, Brian Blair - club captain, Whycllife Cameron - immediate past president.

This leadership team brings a wealth of expertise in cricket administration, sports marketing, finance, and community engagement, aligning with the club's strategic focus on youth development, infrastructure enhancement, and competitive excellence.

Kensington, established in 1879, continues to play a vital role in the development of cricket in Jamaica. The re-elected leadership is committed to upholding this legacy while modernising operations to meet the evolving needs of players, supporters, and the wider community.
