Young Warriors CC receives assistance from Mahaish Ramoutar
The recently resuscitated Young Warriors Cricket Club )YWCC) is making rapid strides to return to its former glory and the club recently received a boost from Mahaish Ramoutar of Flat Rate Reality, Queens, New York.
Mahaish Ramoutar (2nd right) hands over the cash to Kwesi Maltay in the presence of Paul Wintz (left) and Coach Hubern Evans.
Ramoutar provided his former club with cash and said he is happy to give back to the organisation from which he has learnt so much and still has fond memories. He also mentioned that he was among the first set of cricketers when the club was formed under Orin Archer’s leadership and is very happy to see its growth over the years, producing some fine players, with the latest being West Indies newest batting sensation, Shimron Hetmyer.
Ramoutar pledged to garner more help for the club from former players and persons from the Cumberland area, now residing in the USA. In response, former national player and coach, Hubern Evans thanked Ramoutar for his kind gesture and urged Guyanese in the New York area to support his business so he can continue to give back to his place of birth.
Evans pointed out that it is common that things can take many years to build and can be destroyed easily with poor management, emphasising that the YWCC is a good example. He said that the administrators who took over the club, allowed it to go to the ruins with the tractor destroyed, covers disappeared, pavilion, fence and the entire facility needing urgent repairs.
Evans indicated that there is still hope and boasted that since its resuscitation, the club participated in three first division competitions run by the Berbice Cricket Board and booked a place in the finals of all three, a significant achievement.
The YWCC has also topped their zone in the NBS second division cricket competition which is now in progress. He thanked the players for their commitment and the hunger they have displayed.
Evans also called on former club members and other community minded citizens to come on board and support the club. He encouraged parents to support matches and encourage their children to play cricket.
