The evening’s highlight featured the sentimental exchange between former Guyana Harpy Eagles captain Leon Johnson and GCC, a club who he grew up in, won many matches, tournaments and titles but more importantly carved his career as of the most iconic Guyanese and by extension, West Indies players.
The left-hander who helped Guyana dominate the regional 4-Day scene with 6 titles, retired more than a season ago, turning his talents to managing with former CPL champs, Guyana Amazon Warriors; was showered by his club for his many feats on and off the field.
Johnson presented GCC president Johnathan Yearwood with a bat signed by members of the Warriors team following the inaugural Guyana Super League, along with an official Amazon Warriors t-shirt signed by Johnson himself, as a token to the club.
