THE recently resuscitated Berbice Amateur Basketball Association (BABA) plans for the development of the game in the ancient county received a major boost when the popular Trophy Stall of Bourda Market and the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) joined hands to sponsor a tournament for youths.Only recently the RHTY&SC donated a set of basketballs and other items to the BABA and this sponsorship represents a commitment to assist the development of Basketball.

Secretary/CEO of the RHTYSC Hilbert Foster who approached Mr. Ramesh Sunich of Trophy Stall for a donation of trophies stated that he was quite impressed with the vision of the BABA newly elected president Keith Myers and Secretary Petra Forde and would work along with them to fulfil their mandates.
The RHTYSC would only work along with organisations, Foster stated, who have visionary and honest leadership and he urged BABA to work beyond the call of duty to develop the game. Managing Director of Trophy Stall Ramesh Sunich stated that he was willing to assist once the RHTYSC has recommended BABA to him.
The Trophy Stall, Sunich proudly noted, is a major contributor to all sports in Guyana and he was proud to work along with the RHTYSC to develop sports in the ancient county.
The Trophy Stall donated trophies for the winning team, runner up and the MVP of the finals, while the RHTYSC donated prizes for the members of the winning team.
Secretary of the BABA Petra Forde expressed gratitude to Mr. Sunich and Mr. Foster for their kind gesture to assist the newly elected body and pledged that the tournament would be well organised.
Forde stated that the BABA was very grateful to the RHTYSC for it’s contribution to the development of the game and issued an appeal to other organisations and business entities to support the development of basketball.
