It had taken some time to fructify but following affirmation from executives of the Guyana Olympics Association, several boxers, identified to receive the monthly stipend under an initiative of the aforementioned organization and under the auspices of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), collected the first tranche of the agreement when they convened at the Main Street office of the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport.
Those collecting cheques yesterday were Eon Bancroft, Imran Khan, Theresa London, Ron Smith and Dennis Craig. President of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle was among those that were present at the ceremony which also included Tournament Director and Csoach (GBA), Terrence Poole and Cuban Coach, Francisco Roldon Hernandez among others.
Mr. Ninvalle reiterated his deep feelings of gratitude to the hierarchy of the GOA while saying that it is timely and will serve to boost the boxers’ morale and their abilities. He also wished the boxers well while disclosing that his executives have managed to enhance the stipend with a regular supply of bread compliments of Bakewell.
Consequently, the pugilists also collected several vouchers to facilitate the added arrangement.
Speaking in halting English, Señor Hernandez said that the gesture was indeed commendable. He also made fleeting mention of the boxers’ impending visit to Cuba to participate in the Roberto Balado and the Cardova Cardin boxing tournaments scheduled for sometime in May and June next.
He said that he is satisfied with the application demonstrated by the boxers and their consequent progress. Señor Roldon trains the local squad every afternoon at the Andrew Lewis Boxing Gym Albouystown and strongly supports Guyana’s involvement in the Cuban tournament.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ninvalle hinted that he would soon be engaging the subject Minister Frank Anthony to discuss the ramifications of the impending tournament.
