Bernard’s Variety Store donates uniform to Retrieve Raiders B/ball Club
Bernard Hodge, owner of Bernard’s Variety Store, this week donated a complete set of basketball uniforms to the Retrieve Raiders Basketball Club outside his business place at the Linden Minibus Park.
Bernard’s Variety Store is one of the more popular shopping spots in Linden and has traditionally supported the Retrieve Raiders, a team which has been among the top clubs in the Mining Town over the years.

At the presentation, Hodge promised to continue supporting the efforts of the Raiders’ management team, which is led by club president Pastor Richard McDonald, as he committed to follow the progress of the club especially in the BOSAI Open challenge tournament which tipped off yesterday at the Mackenzie sports Club Hard Court. Hodge had also financially supported the club’s captain Neil Marks when he was selected to the last Guyana National Men’s team which participated at the Caribbean Basketball Championships in The Bahamas.
Receiving the set of uniforms was manager of Retrieve Raiders Mr. Eusi Francis who said the donation was a timely one as they go into action against Victory Valley Royals in the BOSAI Minerals Group (Guyana) Inc Open Challenge basketball competition. Francis thanked Bernard for the support given to the club whenever called upon as he was accompanied by another Raiders executive Colin Barker.
They promised that the gear will be used proudly by the club and that they will strive to ensure that the club remains among the best in the town and ultimately Guyana as a whole.
