Sep 12, 2012 Sports

To date, sixteen Berbicians have earned selection on the West Indies cricket team but Assad Fudadin is the first resident of Rose Hall Town to do so and for that, the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC) and Gizmos & Gadgets First Division Cricket Team acknowledged this feat at a special ceremony at the Area ‘H’ Ground, upon completion of a 50-Overs Semi-finals encounter between Tenelec Inc and the Young Warriors cricket teams recently.
Fudadin received a plaque from proprietor of Trophy Stall, Ramesh Sunich and a commemorative cap while a colored poster, donated by the RHTY&SC, would decorate the many classrooms of schools in Berbice. The poster was produced by the RHTY&SC and featured Fudadin’s career statistics and the message ‘Say No to Drugs and Yes to Education’ emblazoned at the bottom. The cricket stalwart also received a collection of gifts from his teammates.
Secretary/CEO of the RHTY&SC, Hilbert Foster handed over the gifts and told Fudadin that his entity was very proud of him.  Mr. Foster said the executives of the RHTY&SC has worked diligently, ever since its formation in 1990, to produce a test cricketer and Fudadin’s achievement was delightful recompense.

He also expressed gratitude to all the sponsors while singling out Farfan & Mendes Ltd, Bakewell, Courts, GT&T, Gizmos & Gadgets and Pepsi, firms that have for invested heavily in his career.
