MEMOREX ENTERPRISES of New Amsterdam Berbice is the latest sponsor to come on board for the highly anticipated Guyana’s Independence T20 Cup to be held at the famous Albion Sports Complex ground this Sunday.

At a simple presentation ceremony at the company’s office, Executive Director Anthony Ameerally was high in praise for the tournament and he said he has full confidence in the Chairman and other members of the organising committee.
He said his company fully supports the development of sports and young people in the Region and Guyana especially and is glad that proceeds from this high-profile event will go towards charity, before handing over the cheque to one of the event’s coordinators, Anil Beharry.
In his brief remarks, Beharry said he has known Ameerally since his schooldays and he is a man who loves cricket a lot, having represented Guyana at softball cricket and Berbice for many years.
Beharry said he was certain Ameerally would have supported the Independence Cup and as such, approached him for the sponsorship and, having received a positive word, he is very thankful for it adding it will go a long way in making the event a success. The proceeds will go towards assisting with the development of sports in the region.
First division clubs, Albion and Bermine, two schools and orphanages are to benefit and consideration is also given to support a young talent in Berbice in the field of culture.
Part of the proceeds will also go towards the rehabilitation of the commentary booth at the Albion Sports Complex and the balance will be shared equally by the two organizations, to fulfil their social obligations and community work under the ‘Power to Change Programme’.
Meanwhile, the draw for Sunday’s matches was done and the fixtures will see Universal DVD Berbice Titans playing Karibee Rice Tigers from 10:00hrs followed by the BK International East Coast Jaguars versus Georgetown Lions from 13:30hrs, with the respective winners clashing in the grand final to be played under lights from 18:30hrs.
