The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS, Guyana’s leading
youth and sports organisation on Sunday 8th October, 2017 would be hosting a Softball Cricket Tournament to honour the memory of the Founder of Bakewell “Naeem Nasir”. Nasir, a long time supporter and sponsor of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS, died five years ago and this year’s tournament would be the third edition. Bakewell has been the official sponsor of the RHTY&SC Under-17 and Second Division teams since 2000.

Nasir, Foster recalled was a strong believer in the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS, and he hailed the late businessman as one of the main reasons why the Club is widely rated Guyana’s best. Since Bakewell came on board as an official cricket sponsor in 2000, the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club has won five Guyana Cricket Club of the Year Awards, three National Championships, produced close to 100 Berbice, fifty National Junior Cricketers, sixteen National Players at all levels.
Hosting a successful Softball Tournament is the best way the Club can pay tribute to Nasir, Foster stated and at the same time, upholding the high standard it has set itself in the past. General Manager of Bakewell, Rajin Ganga stated that the late Naeem Nasir was always proud of his involvement with the RHTY&SC and even prouder of its countless achievements over the years. Bakewell, Ganga noted has full confidence in the Club’s ability to honour the memory of the late Nasir. The Club, Ganga stated has always fulfilled its commitments to his Company and has been an outstanding representative of the Bakewell’s brand and logo.
