The Cheddi Jagan Street, New Amsterdam Office of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) would now be easily located by visitors following the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC) and one of its official sponsors, Bakewell, donation of a signboard.
RHTY&SC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster said that his club was totally dedicated to the overall development of the game in Berbice and because of this, has invested heavily in the development of talent in every area.
In the history of cricket in Guyana, Foster stated that no club has assisted in the development of a cricket board or sister clubs like his club has done over the past two years.
They {Club} has raised millions of dollars for the BCB to conduct off the field programmes and cricket tournaments and has also assisted over 100 young players and clubs with gears, equipment and educational materials among other items.
The veteran cricket Administrator used the opportunity to call on other established clubs to stop their criticism of Berbice cricket and to start assisting less fortunate clubs and players in an effort to develop the game.
Foster, who was recently re-appointed Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee disclosed that the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club would assist Berbice cricket in a massive way during 2014 and over thirty clubs would receive assistance during the year as Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation was determined to assist others to be successful.
The 8 feet x four feet signboard was described by BCB Secretary Angela Haniff as a welcome gesture by the donors who expressed gratitude to Mr. Rajin Ganga, General Manager of Bakewell for his assistance while also hailing the RHTYSC as a true friend of Berbice cricket.
Ms. Haniff expressed pleasure that the BCB Office would now be easily identified via the very impressive signboard, while also stating that the ‘Say No to Drugs and Yes to Life Message’ on the signboard was well thought out.
The BCB, she stated is very firm on its anti-drugs stance for youths and the signboard would assist to spread that message. RHTY&SC and the BCB will later this month join hands again to distribute coaching kits and other items to several clubs.
