THE ROSE Hall Town Youth and Sports Club’s (RHTYSC) preparations for the busy 2013 Berbice Cricket Board cricket season received a major boost last Monday when it received cricket balls from Mings Product Services of Urquhart Street, Georgetown. The balls valued at $60 000 would be used by the cricket teams of the club to get themselves properly prepared for a season where cricket would be played at the Under-13, Under-15, Under-17, Under-19, Under-21, Second Division, Intermediate, First Division, Inter-zone and Female levels.
The Universal DVD Club and its CEO Vickram Seubarran also supported the club with a donation of $50 000 towards the cricket team’s monthly personal development charity programmes.
Under this programme, the Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Gizmos and Gadgets Under-21 and First Division and the Metro Female Teams would undertake a total of 60 charity and pro-education programmes in 2013.
These would include weekly feeding of the poor, hampers for less fortunate families, donation to other cricket clubs, educational scholarships and pro-education billboards.
Secretary/CEO of the Club, Hilbert Foster, in accepting the donations expressed gratitude to the Management of both Mings Product Services and Universal DVD.
The main aims of the Club in 2013, Foster stated, would be to continue its dominance of Berbice Cricket at all levels while continuing to make a positive difference on a daily basis in the lives of youths, the elderly and less fortunate.
Special thanks were expressed to Mr  Stanley and Colin Ming of Mings Products and Services and Mr Vickram Seubarran of Universal DVD, even as the RHTYSC has set itself a record 170 programmes/activities in 2013.
