LAST Saturday evening, during a gala and highly impressive Berbice Cricket Board’s (BCB) 6th Annual Award Ceremony, Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation, the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC), received for the fifth time, the prestigious Club-of-the-Year Award.

The club received the award in recognition of its continued dominance of cricket in Berbice at all levels, its ongoing cricket development programmes and its unmatched list of activities.
Secretary/CEO, Hilbert Foster expressed delight at copping the Club-of-the-Year Award and has dedicated the award to the club’s patron Beverly Harper and to the official sponsors of the RHTYSC.
The success of the RHTYSC over the years, Foster noted, has been due to the support of its official sponsors – Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), Bakewell, Metro, Farfan and Mendes Limited, DDL/Pepsi, Gizmos and Gadget and Food for the Poor.
“The club is also grateful for the support of numerous other donors including Scotiabank, Republic Bank, Busta, Banks DIH Ltd, Ansa McAl, John Fernandes Ltd, Sterling Products, New GPC Inc., Mings Product Service, Modern Optical Service, NAMILCO, Western Union, Ricks and Sari and the Berbice River Bridge.
“The RHTYSC is also grateful to Harper, its Patron, who has served in her honorary position beyond the call of duty and is an inspiration to all of our members especially the females while being, without doubt, an inspiring patron and we share this award with her.
“The Management and members of the RHTYSC would like to reassure every one of our sponsors, supporters and friends that the club would continue to be above board in everything we do and that we would always strive for excellence, with 2013 promising to be more productive for us than 2012.”
