THE 10 cricket teams of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation, the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS, (RHTYSC) have partnered with executives of the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association (UCCA) to fulfil their dreams of hosting an Awards ceremony.
The teams have handed a total of 12 trophies to the association and would also be sponsoring all the certificates for the event. Additionally, the teams would be donating medals and the cost of the portrait of the Upper Corentyne Hall of Fame.
The Upper Corentyne Cricket Association on Sunday will host the first-ever Awards ceremony for the Area at the Taj Mahal Hotel, located at No. 79 Village, Corriverton.
Secretary/CEO of the RHTYSC Hilbert Foster, in handing over the trophies, stated that his club was also happy to assist the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association as the two organisations enjoyed a very cordial relationship.
He expressed confidence that the Awards ceremony would be a huge success and would lay the foundation for better days in the Upper Corentyne Sub-Association.
Foster, in his capacity as Berbice Cricket Board president would deliver the feature address. He would hand over cricket balls to twenty clubs, present educational posters to 28 clubs and unveil the official sponsor of a double-wicket competition for teams in the Sub-Association.
For the year, RHTYSC, MS has used $800 000 of its own funds to finance the development of cricket in Berbice. Additionally, the Club has assisted dozens of clubs and young cricketers with cricket gear, scorebooks, cricket balls, stumps and trophies at the cost of $2M for the first five months of 2018.
