History

[edit]

The Community Centre is located in the town of Skeldon close to the Guyana–Suriname border. The ground held its first major representative match in March 1972, when Guyana played a first-class match against a combined Combined Leeward and Windward Islands cricket team in the 1971–72 Shell Shield, and played host to a further match between Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago the following season.[1] In 1992, the Community Centre was recommissioned, with the pavilion being renamed in honour of Dennis D'Ornellas, who had secured the necessary equipment for the Centres recommissioning.[2] The following year, after a 20 year gap, Guyana played a third first-class match there against Windward Islands in the 1992–93 Red Stripe Cup,[1] which saw Guyana's Clayton Lambert score a double-century.[3] A single List A one-day match also been played at the ground, between Guyana and the Windward Islands in the 1994–95 Shell/Sandals Trophy,[4] which Guyana won by 8 wickets.[5]
