Tameshwar Deonandan and Daniella Manns among winners

The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club MS (RHTY&SC) last Friday named Tameshwar Deonandan and Danielle Manns as their male and female junior Cricketer of the Year 2024.
The club presented a thirty-two-inch Television sets and a cricket bat to the awardees during a simple presentation ceremony at the Area H Ground. The presentation was done by the cricket development committee of the club led by cricket manager Robby Kissoonlall.

Kissoonlall, one of the club’s founders in 1990 stated that the club was pleased to honour the two young cricketers as it seems to honour outstanding performers during the year.
The awardees were selected by the cricket development committee based on performances on the cricket field, personal discipline, attendance at practice, commitment to assist in off the field activities and willingness to learn.

He noted that the club between the periods 1990 to 2022 had hosted Guyana’s largest award ceremony but ceased it after the illness of club secretary Hilbert Foster in early 2023.
Tameshwar Deonandan is the current captain of the Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes under 15 team and has represented Guyana at the Under 13 level in 2022 and 2023.
This year he represented Berbice in the Guyana Cricket Board under 15 inter county tournament where he served as the team vice-captain.
He is a wicket keeper and a solid middle order batsman.

Deonandan currently represents the RHTYSC at the under 15, under17, under19, under21, second division and the first division levels. In 2024, he scored over five hundred runs at the junior level with two attractive centuries. He struck a solid 150 vs. Whim and 126 versus RHT B as he spearheaded his team to the quarterfinals of the tournament, which would be played shortly.
The RHTYSC Cricket manager hailed the personal discipline and committee of Deonandan and stated that he has a future in the game, once he remains committed.
Manns was named as female youth player for 2024 after performing well for Berbice and Guyana at the under 19 team.

She gained selection on the West Indies team that toured England prior to the 2025 ICC World Cup where she was a standby player.

She was also named in the Berbice Senior team for 2025 inter county senior tournament and plans to work hard on her leg spin bowling with the main aim of making the senior Guyana team in two years’ time.

The sixteen-year-old Manns is currently preparing for her CSEC exam at the Lower Corentyne Secondary School and has attracted huge praise from the Club management for her active role in off the field.

The RHTYSC would like to express thanks to the Management and Staff of Regal Stationery for their donation of two television sets and MR. Anil Beharry for the two bats under his Cricket Gears project. Assistant Cricket Manager MR.
