The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club Gizmos and Gadgets First Division team on Wednesday last honoured their teammate, Ms. Shemaine Campbell on her achievement of being named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the 2010 WICB Female Cricket Tournament that was held earlier this month in St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
Campbell plays for the RHTY&SC at the Under-17, 19, 23; second and first division levels among males and is the captain of the club’s Metro Female Team.
She won the MVP award after scoring 166 runs in four innings at an average of 83 and also took eight wickets with her leg-spin. The 17 year-old West Indies Player also became the first Guyanese to score a senior Regional century when she scored a brilliant 100 not out against St. Lucia.
Secretary/CEO of the RHTY&SC, Hilbert Foster, described Campbell’s achievement as a proud moment for the club and stating that the talented all-rounder is a positive role model and ambassador for the club and its sponsors.
Foster challenged her to maintain her high standards and to love the game for the joy it brings and not for the financial rewards alone. He pledged the club’s continued assistance for Campbell’s career as long as she remains disciplined, committed, hard working and keeps her feet firmly planted on the ground.
Ms. Campbell’s teammate on the Gizmos and Gadgets team, Renwick Batson, expressed his admiration of her achievements and told her that every member of the RHTY&SC was proud to be associated with her.
Batson also urged the other members of the club to take a page out of Campbell’s book and to follow in her footsteps. Batson along with Khemraj Mahadeo and Ravi Narine then presented a special gift to Ms. Campbell on behalf of all the club members.
The Guyana female captain in reply expressed gratitude to all her teammates for making her feel special and disclosed that joining the RHTY&SC four years ago was the best decision she has ever made as no other club in Guyana invests and care for its membership the way her club does. She pledged that she would continue to keep the club’s flag flying high and also expressed gratitude to the management and staff of Metro Office and Computer Supplies for their investment in her career as sponsor of the female team.
