IN a vibrant celebration of unity and community engagement, the Regional Police Division 4C (East Coast Demerara), in collaboration with the Bareroot/Bachelor Adventure Community Development Council (CDC) and its executive members, recently hosted a highly successful Sports and Fun Day at the Gun Oil Lawn, Bareroot, East Coast Demerara.

The event, designed to strengthen the relationship between the police and the wider community, attracted a large turnout and enthusiastic participation from residents of all ages. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, camaraderie, and healthy competition.
A major highlight of the day was a series of competitive 5-a-side football tournaments spanning three categories. Team Scrape clinched victory in the Under-14 division, Team Diamond dominated the Under-18 bracket, and Bare Root Ballers emerged as champions in the open category, dazzling the crowd with their skill and coordination.

Beyond football, a range of novelty games brought laughter and cheer, with participants engaging in bun-eating contests, lime-and-spoon races, bag races, and three-legged races. Younger children enjoyed the thrill of a bouncy castle, while food and drinks were served throughout the day to keep everyone energised.

Adding to the festivities was a spirited Domino Competition for both male and female players, where friendly rivalry and community spirit were on full display. Winners across all events were awarded trophies, medals, and other prizes as tokens of appreciation for their participation and talent.
During the closing ceremony, event organiser Ms. N. Calder extended heartfelt thanks to Assistant Commissioner Khali Pareshram, Commander of Regional Division 4C, and his team, acknowledging their instrumental support in making the event a success.
As part of its ongoing efforts to foster community engagement, Regional Division 4C has announced two upcoming events: the Success Day of Sports on May 5, 2025, at the Success Community Centre Ground, and the Commander’s 10/10 Softball Cricket Competition, set for May 17 and 24, 2025, at the Lusignan Community Centre Ground.

These initiatives underscore the Division’s commitment to building trust, unity, and positive relationships across communities through sport and recreation.
