It is with the utmost regret that Bailey's Bay Cricket Club would like to inform its followers that they have withdrawn from any further participation in the Eastern County Cricket Association's competition indefinitely.
The statement from Arrim Perinchief, the President of the Bailey's Bay Cricket Club read’s, “The actions of the association's members and executive have left us with no option but to remove our club from the association and it's competition.
We would like to apologize to our many fans and supporters. Words cannot describe the terrible injustice our fans had to endure at the last ECCA match held on July 18th. The behavior displayed, and ultimately allowed, by some senior ECCA executives has cast a shadow on the classic match our county communities so dearly look forward to every year.
For those of our fans that had the unfortunate displeasure of having to witness that match on the 18th, or who may have purchased a spot for the next games, we would strongly encourage you to seek a refund for the remaining two matches. No longer can we sit idly by and watch a 'by any means necessary, win at all cost' mentality be allowed to destroy the integrity of the game, bringing it into disrepute, and tarnishing years of Eastern County history. As long as the current Eastern County Executive refuse to acknowledge and correct these issues Bailey's Bay Cricket Club will withdraw its team from the competition. Bailey's Bay will continue to uphold the highest standards of behavior and quality cricket and will actively pursue creative ways to raise the standard of cricket in Bermuda. We will stand strong for what is right for our beloved fans, family and community at large.”
Editor’s note: Islandstats.com did receive information last night during and after the meeting, but decided to await confirmation from the Club, speculation is not how we operate and we want to make sure the information we provide is accurate when coming from a club.
