THE eleven cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC) over the last week continued their community developmental programmes by reaching out to two organisations in the Ancient County.
The teams are Poonai Pharmacy Under-12 and Under-13, Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Vilatity Inc Under-23, Metro Females, Namilco Thunderbolt Flour Under-21 and First Division.
The teams handed over six overhead fans to St Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church of Port Mourant and a grass-cutter to the Humanitarian Mission of Babu John, Port Mourant.
The teams also donated 60 food hampers to the Mayor and Town Council of Rose Hall Town for distribution to residents of the township affected by flooding.
Assistant Secretary/CEO Simon Naidu stated that the Catholic community of Port Mourant holds a special place in the history of Guyana’s leading youth and sports club as it was the church youth club that founded the RHTYSC in 1990.

Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster also remains a committed Roman Catholic, who is determined to return his church in Port Mourant to its former glory. The fans were handed over to Parish Priest Ramesh Vanan, who expressed gratitude to the club.
Head of the Humanitarian Mission, Suresh Sugrim, contacted the club for assistance in the form of a grass-cutter and his request was granted within two hours.
Foster and Organising Secretary Robby Kissoonlall handed the grass-cutters on behalf of the teams to Administrator of the Mission, Ms Raj Sugrim, who explained that with a very large compound, the mission is forced to use limited funds to clean the compound on a regular basis.
The donation of the grass-cutter would be a major boost to the work of the Mission and he wished the 11 cricket teams of the club all success on and off the cricket field.
Foster who is also the president of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) and vice-president of the GCB, stated that no other club in the history of cricket in Guyana has made a positive difference like the RHTYSC and he called on his fellow members to uphold their proud record of serving others.
