Campbelle noted that the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club is committed towards assisting youths to fulfill their dreams, the West Indies cricketer urged the young athlete to work hard every day to improve her skill level and to strive to be a proper Ambassador for her School, County and Country.
Young Johnson in brief remarks expressed gratitude to the Club and promised to make everyone proud with her performance.
