FOR the 25th successive year, the cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club honored outstanding fathers as part of their celebration of Father’s Day.

The teams honoured dozens of fathers under their Annual Walter Nero Tribute to Fathers’ Programme, which is sponsored by the children of Walter Nero, in memory of the father of eight who died three years ago.

The Club provided food hampers to eighty fathers while Ravindranauth Kissoonlall was named the Walter Nero Father of the Year 2018 and received a trophy, a framed Certificate of Excellence and a collection of gifts.

Earlier in the month, the ten cricket teams and the Over-35 group provided breakfast to dozens of fathers as they waited to collect their monthly Old Age Pension. Three fathers also received special gifts from the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club.

Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster congratulated the fathers and urged them to share their experiences with the younger generation of fathers.

The long serving Secretary/CEO called on the parents to assist the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club to spread its Say No/Say Yes Message.

Kissoonlall is a father of two sons and also serves as the Cricket Manager/Assistant Organising Secretary of the club.

Assistant Secretary of the club, 18-year-old Simon Naidu stated that the ten cricket teams worked hard to make the project a success. He expressed gratitude to the Nero’s family for their co-sponsorship. Gratitude was also extended to Bakewell, Bounty Farm Ltd, Ryan Tillack, Sham, Johnny, Deonarine Shane, Navin Raghoo, Food-for-the-Poor and R. Lawson.

Kissoonlall expressed thanks to his fellow club mates for honouring him and pledged to uphold the high standard he has set in the past.
