REPUBLIC Bank Limited has agreed to assist in the construction of an all-weather concrete practice pitch for Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC).The facility is expected to be constructed on the outer part of the Area ‘H’ Ground, and will be outfitted with practice nets in order to allow the club’s coaches to conduct one-on-one coaching with junior players.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the project, hailed the contribution of Republic Bank as a timely initiative. The financial institution is contributing $150 000 towards the project.
Foster explained that since cricket membership at the RHTYSC at the Under-13, U-15, U-17, U-19 and female levels continues to expand on a daily basis, the concrete pitch will be used on a daily basis by the female cricketers and the Under-17 age group.
Foster also noted that the U-19 and senior players will use the pitch.
The concrete pitch will be constructed by members of the Rose Hall Town Farfan and RHT Pepsi U-19 cricket teams along with the Management and Staff of the Republic Bank Rose Hall Town Branch.
