THE Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC) is set to unveil the eleventh edition of its annual Busta Champion of Champions 40 overs cricket tournament. The tournament would be a special one for the club as it would be one of the numerous programmes organised as part of its Silver Jubilee celebrations.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster disclosed that the Club’s Cricket Development Committee is hard at work making preparations for a highly successful tournament.
The teams in the tournament are: defending champions Albion, Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets, West Berbice, Blairmont, Young Warriors, Tucber Park (formerly Bermine), Police and Upper Corentyne.
The winning team will take home $100 000 and the Busta trophy while the losing finalists would receive $50 000 and a trophy.
Matches will be played across the Ancient County with the final most likely to be played under the lights at the Albion Community Centre.
Foster noted that the RHTYSC will be using the matches to promote the ‘Say No to Crime, Yes to Sport’ message.
Management of the invited teams will be required to submit a 20-member squad to the RHTYSC via email foster_hilbert@yahoo.com or to the Club’s office, Area ‘H’ Ground, Rose Hall Town.
Foster stated they will be organising numerous cricket tournaments in the Second Division, Under-19, Under-17 and Under-15 levels as part of its cricket development levels but only teams who have committed management and the interest of Berbice cricket at heart would be invited.
