On Monday, at the Malteenoes Sports Club on Thomas Road, Thomas Lands, Shawn Holder’s Brokerage Shipping and Logistics donated two Bowling Machines and other cricket equipment to the city club.

Former National U-19 batter Shawn Holder, the owner and CEO of the Company, who has been a member of MSC since 1985, said his company has been giving back…not only to his club but to the Communities with Hampers and other things.

SHBS&LS was, for over two decades ago and Holder, also a Vice-President of the club, disclosed that his Company will continue to support the young players of the club with such contributions

“I have asked my business partner in Australia where the bowling machines came from and if there is any other thing he can send and it will be paid for.
“I will pay for the stuff to be cleared and he is giving the items to me as payment.

“So don’t think we got it free…it was paid for by the Brokers Association and I want you guys to take good care of it. We need this as the development of the club progresses” said Holder, who represented Guyana at the U-19 level in 1987 & 1988.

The Malteenoes’ President, Deborah McNichols, said these bowling machines will go a long way in improving the skills of the club’s batters and thanked Holder and the Brokerage Association for the timely donation.

Holder’s youngest daughter, Sian Serenity Holder made the presentation on behalf of her father’s Company.
Holder was a member of the 1987 youth team to Jamaica when a record seven players from Malteenoes were a part of that team. That record was equalled by GCC this year. (Sean Devers)
