Regal Sports.
The simple but timely donation was made at Regal Stationary and Computer Centre at its 69 Seaforth Street, Campbellville Georgetown office and was witnessed by Managing Director of the company along with a number of players from Regal Sports Club. Among the items donated were footballs, Cricket bats, a pair each of batting pads and wicketkeeping pads, Wicketkeeper gloves, batting gloves, chess, badminton rackets, basketballs and cricket balls.
Sport development within the communities of Region eight has been on an aggressive push since the appointment of the Regional Executive officer (REO) Rafel Downes who has been encouraging various communities to form clubs and sporting groups. Since his appointment he has gotten the RDC to play pivotal roles in the staging of a number of events and competitions, which has further boosted a number of sporting activities primarily tapeball cricket and football. He has further boosted relationships with Region 9 which according to a source REO Downes will see shortly the execution of a number of sporting events dubbed Hinterland Games among a number of the hinterland regions.
A number of players from Regal Sports said that they were happy that their team could play a role in helping to make the playing of sports more accessible with the donation of some critically important equipment. “We are very happy to be giving back and that is why we readily agreed to assist when the request was made,” a source of the club said. The source went on to further state that seeing the determination and interest in lifting sports within the region is noteworthy and recognizing the many challenges being faced to execute programmes and events to help with the development it has boosted their interest in helping to play a part.
Meanwhile, Managing Director of Regal Stationary and Computer Store, Mahendra Hardyal said that giving back continues to be one of the primary principles that he lives his life by. He said that he has been very impressed with the work of the REO and his team. This, he said has encouraged him to lend a helping hand as he firmly believes that sports development requires the assistance of all and not just the private sector.
“To see the REO integrally involved in the development of sports among the youths there is just amazing. This, I must admit has fuelled my interest in supporting the region in whatever way that we can as we believe that if all plays their role then the future of our youths would be more secured o have committed to support as with all playing their role then it would help in eradicating some of the challenges faced today by youths,” Hardyal said
It was disclosed that some of the items donated would be used to stage a Day of Sports slated for May 26th in Mahdia where a number of teams will be contesting among themselves in tapeball and football. The competitions which are being staged in association with the RDC will be sponsored by the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples Affairs Ministry, Region Nine RDC Chairman Bryan Allicock, Guytrack and James Bond among others will see a number of trophies being up for grabs.
