By Sean Devers
BERBICE, Guyana and West Indies all-rounder Kevin Sinclair has pledged to support his Berbice club Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) by funding building materials for the main pavilion at the Area H Ground.

Sinclair visited the office of RHTY&SC Secretary Hilbert Foster to inform the membership of the Club that he would be funding some major repairs to the main pavilion at the Area H Ground
Foster expressed gratitude to Sinclair for his support and assistance. It was agreed that a contractor selected by Sinclair would soon visit to take an estimate.
“The Club would like to thank Kevin for remembering our massive input into his career and for carrying it forward with his kindness. He has also pledged his support for our cricket academy set for next month. Charity surely begins at home. Well done Kevin Sinclair,” disclosed the hard working Foster.

Sinclair had also made himself available to play in the BCB zone of the Speakers T20 Cup which was scheduled to have started last Saturday.
However, according to Berbice Cricket Board’s (BCB), Guyana Cricket president Bissoondyal Singh has deemed the Speaker’s T20 first division competition ‘illegal’ since this tournament, which was scheduled to be held in Berbice, has not been approved by the GCB.

The tournament is named in honour of Speaker of the National Assembly and Everest’s president, Manzoor Nadir and is also scheduled to be played in the City.
When contacted, the Guyana Cricket Association (GCA) said they were still going ahead with planning dates and fixtures as soon as the weather improves and grounds become available since the Constitution of the GCA says that the GCA is mandated to organise cricket in Georgetown.
