On January 1 last, footballers of the Buxton United Sports Club (BUSC) culminated a spectacular performance in the finals of the 23rd edition of the Kashif and Shanghai football extravaganza with a historic win over Amelia’s Ward FC to win the top prize for the first time of the tournament’s history.
The East Coast based team has since improved its standing with a current placing of 4th in the National Leagues while accruing 20-points to retain a number 3 spot in the East Coast League. Yesterday morning, the club received much needed support when corporate entity, Gafson’s Group of Companies donated several pieces of training equipment to facilitate the development of the club’s membership and by extension, residents of the Buxton/Friendship community where the club is based.
Yesterday morning, one of the club’s outstanding administrators, Lyndon France, journeyed to the Houston Offices of the sponsor where Manager of the Gym and Home Appliances section, Ms Shellon Yarde, handed over one weight bench, 2 abdominal boards, several weight plates and two weightlifting bars to Mr. France. Manager of the BUSC, Mark Wade and one of the players, Travis Phil were also in attendance.
Ms Yarde spoke on behalf of the sponsors and expressed delight at the opportunity to render support to the club.
She said that even though Gafson’s is in the forefront in extending such chivalry, the gesture was the first for the BUSC. “I trust that the gift is appreciated and the equipment will serve its intended purpose,” exhorted Ms Yarde. She further assured the ball weavers that her company stands committed to further assistance towards the continued development of sports and the youths that participate.
Mr. France was grateful for the assistance and relayed such sentiments to Ms Yarde. “Thank you for your positive response to our request,” he said. He further intimated that 96 youths are currently registered in the club that will benefit from the gift.
The BUSC administrator further revealed that his executives are contemplating employing a physical fitness guru to assist in training activities.
“We hope that this is not the last time that Gafson’s extend such help and we are planning to rechristen the gym in honour of this company,” revealed Mr. France. The occasion was also witnessed by Human Resources Officer (Gafson’s Group of Companies), Ms Donna Todd.
