Auto Fashion/ Star Party Rentals pitch in towards successful K&S tournament
Another motorcycle for another lucky patron
Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major and Kashif Muhammad, the two Directors of the Kashif and Shanghai organization have set out to make the 23rd edition of the tournament, starting on December 16 next, the best ever, with meaningful interaction among patrons at the games. Towards this end, they have solicited lucrative prizes so that several attendees leave the venue with nostalgic reminders of their attendances.

The K&S principals have earlier secured a 110CC motorcycle from Cell Phone Shack and a lucky patron will win it after a draw at the Buxton fixture. While other administrators would have felt satisfied, the K&S organizers are not, and yesterday afternoon, managed to secure the requisite sponsorship and will stage another draw at a fixture to be announced later so that another fan rides off with a similar prize.
Yesterday afternoon, the proprietor of Auto Fashion, 34 Seaforth Street Campbellville, Noel Shewjattan, handed over the second machine to Mr. Major at his office even as he wished the group well in their endeavours. Auto Fashion has been a regular feature on the list of sponsors of the tournament and Mr. Shewjattan said that he is always delighted to be associated with the tournament. He pointed out that the returns are lucrative, not necessarily in terms of the monetary gains but in the pleasurable feeling that he experiences knowing that he is supporting the development of local ball weavers. The Auto Fashion boss said that he is satisfied with the support rendered by the public to his business place and is contemplating a larger contribution for the 24th edition of the tournament.
Shortly after leaving Auto Fashion, the K&S duo visited the Craig Street location of Star Party Rentals where the proprietor, former first class cricketer, Lennox Cush, acquiesced to a sizeable sum towards the tournament’s success. Office Manager (Star Party Rentals), Pheona Jones, accompanied by her assistant, Francine Chase, handed over the gift even as she expressed delight in performing the gesture.
Both Mr. Major and Mr. Muhammad expressed deep gratitude to their benefactors saying that the gifts would contribute to a qualitative tournament that local football fans are accustomed to. Mr. Muhammad further intimated that he is working fervently to acquire similar gate prizes for most or all of the other fixtures.
