Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
What a wonderful tribute you gave to Dave Ryan in last week’s GulfWeekly, highlighting much of what he has given to Bahrain throughout his stay.
However, your article omitted the work Dave has done to develop cricket in Bahrain, particularly amongst the youth.
As chairman he was able to develop a youth team, instigate training and was also supportive of the national youth teams.
His contribution was not only restricted to youth, he was also willing to sponsor touring teams, particularly those visiting Dublin. Indeed, David will continue to support the touring Bahrain Camels by making arrangements for their 2012 tour.
It would appear that the organisers of the Volvo Golf Champions are not getting it all their own way after snubbing Bahrain’s Royal Golf Club and moving the $500,000 event to The Links at Fancourt in South Africa.
