Something special

Sun, Aug 16, '15

Barbados under-15 captain Nico Reifer is something special in the making and those who attended the Barbados Cricket Association’s Under-15 three-day final at Desmond Haynes Oval would know exactly what I am speaking about.

The young talented player knows what he wants in his career and intends to go after it. In fact, after yesterdays final, Reifer proudly proclaimed: “I want to become a cricket legend,” and a four-year scholarship to Whitgift Cricket School based in England is a step in that direction.

“I hope to reach all the way to the top and to become as people would say a legend and that’s always been a vision of mine since I started playing cricket at age five,” said the 14-year-old who led Queen’s College to their second consecutive under-15 final against Combermere that ended in a draw.
