THE management and members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS, has sought to congratulate the four members of the Rose Hall Town Metro Stationery Female team who have gained selection on the Guyana Under-19 female team.
The four players are Trisha Hardat, Jaya Fraser, Daniela Hicks and Danellia Manns and they are heading to Trinidad and Tobago shortly to play in the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Under-19 tournament.
In a statement, the club said, “’we are very proud of these girls as they represent the hard work and dedication we have shown towards the development of cricket at all levels over the last thirty-five years since the RHTYSC was founded in 1990 by three-time Commonwealth Youth Service awardee, The St Francis Community Developers.
Manna and Hardat are already West Indies under-19 players while Hicks and Fraser would be making their national debut. Fraser is the niece of West Indies test selectee, Kevlon Anderson and is a very promising opening batter while Hicks is a solid middle-order batter and medium-pacer. She is also the niece of former national player, Delbert Hicks.
“We would like to urge the girls to remain focused and disciplined. The club would like to reassure them of our continued support and that we are dedicated to their continued development,” the club’s statement continued.
The Rose Hall Town Metro team was founded in 2008, and over the last 17 years has produced over forty players for Berbice at all levels while a total of twenty-seven have gone on to play at the national level. Four of them have played at the international level and they are Shemaine Campbelle, Erva Giddings, Shakabi Gajnabi and Sheneeta Grimmond.
Campbelle has the distinction of being the only Guyanese to captain the West Indies at the senior level and to score an international century. Plaffina Millington, last week was also named the CWI T20 Player of the Year for 2024 in another major achievement for the RHTYSC,MS.
‘We would like to dedicate the selection of Manns, Hardat, Fraser and Hicks to the Management and Staff of Metro Office Supplies for the support over the years. We look forward to their continued support in the future as we seek to lift female cricket to another level in Guyana,’ the club said.
