K&S Football Extravaganza…Beharry’s Automotive Services donates motorcar for Most Valuable Player
They have recently donated more than M$1.5 towards the success of the 23rd edition of the annual Kashif and Shanghai Football Tournament and anyone would have thought that it was more than enough. However, in what was hailed as unprecedented, the administrators of Beharry’s Automotive Limited (BAL) extended themselves and added a motorcar to the package, which will go to the Most Valuable Player in the impending championships slated

to get underway from December 16 – January 1 next.
Towards this end, the K&S principals, Kashif Muhammad and Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major, trooped to the Charlotte Street office of their benefactor and collected the keys to a 2200CC Toyota Alex motorcar from the Chairman, Anand Beharry, in the presence of Vice Chairman, Suresh Beharry and Sales Manager, Jan Veerwey.
“This is not the first time that BAL has extended sponsorship towards sports activity but this is certainly the first time that our donation has been of such magnitude,” pronounced Anand Beharry as he handed over the keys to the vehicle to Mr. Major. “This gift must be seen in the context of the level of seriousness we place on sports development,” he continued. Quizzed on whether such chivalry will be extended on a yearly basis, the Chairman said he preferred to wait on an analysis after the completion of the impending tournament before making such commitments.
The Chairman further noted that sport is the most singular vocation in the development of any country and inputs must also match outputs. He then urged the public at large to support the venture as without such support the contribution of the corporate community would dwindle to naught.
Mr. Muhammad collected the keys on behalf of his organization and extended heartfelt gratitude to the businessman. He noted that whereas in the past such occurrences were mostly associated with cricket, the K&S organization has been able to broker the deal. This feat compliments another unprecedented occurrence by the organizers when King Pele’s visited to commemorate the 20th edition of the tournament.
Earlier in the month, administrators of BAL had acquiesced to exclusive sponsorship of a Junior U-13 tournament to be played simultaneously with the senior tournament. The junior tournament is dubbed Chico Junior U-13 Round Robin Football Lien tournament. Yesterday, Mr. Muhammad disclosed that the arrangements are progressing for the success of the tournament. He said that his organization is collaborating with officials at the Ministry of Education and sometime today should be in a position to give further details.
To date, eight teams, Marian Academy, North Georgetown Primary, Tucville Primary, West Ruimveldt Primary, Beterverwagting Primary, Grove Primary, Uitvlugt Primary and Company Road Primary slated to compete.
