Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation, the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, continues to create history in the ancient county of Berbice by announcing the first ever Berbice Sports Award. The Club and Mrs. Noreen Gaskin, Managing Director and owner of Sentinel Security have joined hands to host the sports awards which would honour outstanding Berbice male and female sports persons for the year along with the Berbice Sports Association of the year.
Club Secretary/CEO, Hilbert Foster, the brain child of the award, stated that it is another attempt by the RHTY&SC to identify and honour Berbicians who excel in sports over the year under review. The RHTY&SC Sentinel Security Sports Awards would also honour the Berbice Sport Association of the Year. The presentation ceremony would be held on the 23rd of June and sports associations and members of the Berbice public have until the 1st of June to make nominations.
The veteran sport administrator stated that the main objectives of the awards are to promote the importance of sports in the lives of youths, to promote the say NO TO DRUGS message, to recognise and honour outstanding sports performance in Berbice and to identify positive role models for youths. The period under review for the first award would be January 2012 to April 2013 and the different sports disciplines that would be under consideration are cricket, football, volleyball, basketball, cycling, athletics, lawn tennis, bodybuilding, weightlifting, chess, horseracing and boxing.
Each sport organisation in Berbice along with clubs and schools are invited to submit nominations for athletes under their watch, while they can also submit their work programme for the review period to be considered for the group award. The awardees would be selected by the panel of judges selected by the RHTY&SC based on achievements during the past year, discipline, role model status and support of others to achieve their own goals in sports.
Only Berbicians can be nominated and must be living in the ancient county.
The Berbice Sportsman and Sportswoman of the year would each receive a trophy, a plaque and a special gift, while the Sports Association would receive a special trophy and a plaque. Members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club cannot be nominated even by their schools. Nominations can be dropped off at the Club Office, Area ‘H’ Ground; the Berbice Cricket Board Office or DTV-8 office in New Amsterdam.
The Sentinel Security Berbice Sports Awards is the second award unveiled by the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club in the past week, with the Ansa McAl Award for Excellence launched recently. The Ansa McAl Award of Excellence would honour outstanding administrators in sports, education and community development. The Berbice Youth of the Year Award, the third and final of its kind would be announced shortly.
