CORPORATE Guyana has thrown its support behind the National U-20 team ahead of their participation in the Concacaf U-20 Men’s Championship, scheduled for November 1-22, 2018 in Florida, USA.

The donations, in the form of health supplements, snacks, water, a monetary and in-kind contribution, were received and will assist the team in their daily preparations.

The New GPC Inc. donated Codal Compound and Mustard Cream, the former being a nutrition supplement, which, according to the company, “provides extra-strength and vitality while building resistance” and the latter helps sore joints and muscles.

In an invited comment, Team Manager Daniel Thomas expressed his gratitude for the donations, which have greatly contributed to the success of the programme thus far, adding, “We’re happy that Maggie’s Catering has come on board and provided snacks for a number of days as well as offering a discount for snacks provided for the remainder of the month thus far.”

“The Guyana Producers Limited through Aaron Fraser has also given a financial donation. We have also had water being provided for the team through Mr Clifton Douglas of Ultra Waters, which has resulted in our not paying for water for the past month through that kind sponsorship,” Thomas said.

St Joseph Mercy Hospital was also instrumental in facilitating the medicals, which were required by CONCACAF as a prerequisite for participation in the tournament.

Thomas said the team, which is scheduled to depart on October 28, is also open to additional sponsorship, and as such, corporate entities should feel free to reach out to the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).

The National U-20 team’s match schedule in the first round will see them face Guatemala on November 2, on November 6 they will come up against the Cayman Islands, while on November 8 and 10, the Guyanese men will play Curacao and El Salvador respectively.
