Mings Products and Services (MPS) renewed the sponsorship of Yamaha Caribs’ Rugby Football Club yesterday when the company handed over a quantity of equipment to mark 17 years of continued support for the club and the sport.
Sales and Marketing Supervisor, Kurt Yee told Kaieteur Sport that the contribution was a way of establishing the company’s continued commitment toward the development of the youth in sport in Guyana and further a-field.
“This is our commitment toward local athletes. We are doing our best to help the athletes shine locally, regionally and internationally. Every year we renew our sponsorship and support to the Yamaha Caribs,” Yee stated yesterday.
The company’s sponsorship of the club began in 1992 and continues to be an outstanding feature of the Rugby team. Asked if he is satisfied with the club’s performance, Yee said that as a team, MPS was “quite satisfied” with them.
“As with any team sport, there is always commitment to working together. We provide an assistance that is needed, not to the Caribs alone, but to other local athletes. We just try to play our role on the sporting scene,” Yee indicated.
Both the male and female national captains Claudius Butts and Shagola Gray emerged on the backdrop of the corporate strength of the Caribs-a club that has won two of the three male rugby tournaments that was held this year. The Yamaha Caribs male team won the William Blackman 15s tournament and Hornets’ Seven-a-Side Anniversary competition while finishing runners-up in the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) Sevens’ League. No female tournament was played this year but yet the Caribs are boasting a strong eight female players on the national women’s squad preparing for the upcoming NACRA International Sevens Series in Mexico. President of the Yamaha Caribs, Robin Roberts said that the continued sponsorship of the club enables them to “offset a lot of expenses” while they are “properly outfitted when on the field for tournaments and other engagements.
“It also assists in our youth development programme that is currently on stream at Covent Garden Secondary School,” Roberts indicated. Among the items collected yesterday were two coolers, medical kit, uniforms and gear bags.
