The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCY&S) fulfilled their promise to the Guyana Tennis Association (GTA) with the commissioning of the National Racquet Centre Tennis Facility yesterday.

During a simple but significant ceremony yesterday, Sports Minister Charles Ramson Jr., GTA President Cristy Campbell, and head of the Guyana Olympic Association, Godfrey Munroe, were present.

Ms Campbell, during her address, expressed
“Gratitude to the Government of Guyana (GoG) for fully funding this project through the MCY&S and the National Sports Commission (NSC).”

She highlighted that, “A mere 14 hours after Minister Ramson was sworn in, the GTA received correspondence from him to meet. And, the first promise was, ‘I will not repair the facility but I will redo it with new lights, surface and stands.”

“Today, we are at the commission of these courts and witnessing the manifestation of that promise. We are grateful.”
