The softball cricket competition organised by the Prime Minister Region Six Representative, Gobin Harbajan in collaboration with t
he Nand Persaud Group of Companies and Kaieteur News was successfully held recently at the No. 56 Field, Corentyne, Berbice.
Six teams participated in the competition namely Union (No 53 Village), No. 55, 57, 59, 60, 71 Villages and the Unstoppable Combined Team. After a day of exciting cricket, Unstoppable and No. 57 made it to the final which was a six over contest due to time constraints.
Unstoppable was unstoppable as they skittle No. 57 for 26 runs. In reply they raced to 27 in 3.1 overs. Man-of-the-Match in the final was Ravi Lootawan of the Unstoppable team which carted off the Nand Persaud Foundation Trophy and cash which was presented by General Manager o
f Nand Persaud, Mr. Mohindra Persaud.
No. 57 collected the runner-up trophy from Global Access and cash, compliments of the Nand Persaud Foundation.
Kaieteur News Senior Staffer Leonard Gildharie who witnessed the competition, contributed to the cash incentives on behalf of the Newspapers. Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Mr. Persaud had words of encouragement and appreciation for the initiative.
He said that Mr. Harbhajan has done something good to organise such an activity, which he envisage will have a positive impact on the communities. He said that the company is always happy to give back and be a part of anything that will make a positive impact on the community, especially youths.
Gildharie, stated that Kaieteur News was more than happy to join in the venture which they see as a good one. Mr. Harbhajan praised the Nand Persaud Foundation and Mr. Persaud for their support. Harbhajan noted that the idea is not just to play cricket but to support youth enhancement in the community.
He said that from moving around he would have seen and heard of a number of young people committing suicide, domestic violence and imbibing alcohol/drugs and felt the need to organize something positive that would help the youths to use their spare time constructively.
He also had words of commendation for Kaieteur News and Globe Access. (Samuel Whyte)
