The Rose Hall Town Primary School received a collection of trophies, certificate frames, cleaning detergents, sports equipment, school bags among other things, while two young cricketers of the RHTYSC, Simon Naidu and David Prahalad,received a complete cricket kit for their hard work over the last year.
At the simple presentation ceremony, Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that this year will be a historic one for the RHTYSC as they aim to complete a total of 500 programmes/activities for the first time in its history.
With Berbice cricket in a crisis due to a court injunction against the Berbice Cricket Board, Foster said the club will seek to play a greater role by hosting more cricket tournaments at the junior, female and second division levels.
