Nov 26, 2013 Sports

The Area ‘H’ Community Centre in Rose Hall Town is set to be in a healthier state to host major cricket matches with major restoration works being undertaken.

The pavilion currently under repairs.

The pavilion, which was built in 1991 through self help by members of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club with funding from the Government of Guyana, was in a state of despair for the past five years after the Mayor and Town Council failed to undertake any repairs.
The Management of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation is expressing profound gratitude to President Donald Ramotar and Minister of Sports Dr. Frank Anthony for the restoration work being done through a Government subvention of over $2.3M.
Executives of the Club had visited President Ramotar last year and he committed his Government to assisting in the restoring of the pavilion. Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster who headed the delegation said the commencement of works is good news for the club in 2013 as it would now be able to host major matches including finals at the venue.
Other organisations including schools, churches and NGOs would also be able to host events without worrying about proper accommodation for spectators. The Area ‘H’ ground, with three pavilions, would now be able to seat at least one thousand spectators.
Foster expressed gratitude also to Minister Anthony, Regional Chairman Permaul Armogan and PPP Executive Secretary Zulfikar Mustapha for their roles in assisting the club to obtain the funding.
The Area ‘H’ ground which was once a swamp land has produced a Test player Assad Fudadin, one West Indies ODI Player Royston Crandon, six national senior players, twenty-three national junior players, two West Indies Female players and over 80 for Berbice at all levels.

Meanwhile, one of the Club’s official sponsors, Bakewell has donated $100,000 for the Club’s Office signboard.
The signboard welcomes visitors to the Club’s Area ‘H’ ground and Foster complimented the Management of Bakewell especially General Manager Rajin Ganga for the role they continue to play in the development of youths through their investment/partnership in the club.
Foster also disclosed that he is currently in discussion with the Company to provide signboards for the Berbice Cricket Board, St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church and some other cricket clubs.
