at their best.
This follows a donation of 8 BMX bicycles by Victoria’s Fashions, Church and Light Streets, yesterday afternoon. Proprietor of the establishment, Riuzane Cruz handed over the donation to one of the K&S Directors, Kashif Muhammad at her business place yesterday afternoon.
The businesswoman extended best wishes to the organizers and said that despite her business is of Brazilian heritage she enjoys the patronage of the Guyanese community. As such she said that she felt obliged to support the cause especially since the tournament aids in the development of young people.
Mr. Muhammad was deeply touched by the gesture and extended heartfelt gratitude to the proprietress. He said that the bikes would be given to the Most Valuable Player on each team. Naturally, with every player setting his eyes on the prize, the standard of play would be lifted. He urged the public to support the business place as such support would serve as adequate recompense for their kind chivalry.
Meanwhile, the institutions that will be participating in the tournament are; Tucville Primary, West Ruimveldt Primary, Beterverwagting Primary, Grove Primary, Uitvlugt Primary, St Gabriel’s Primary, Soesdyke Primary and Company Road Primary,
The tournament has earlier benefited from the largesse of the Beharry’s Group of Companies who had acquiesced to a sponsorship deal that involves more than $M1.5, and a further commitment to maintain such chivalry over the coming years. Their benevolence supported an earlier contribution by Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds of the winning trophy and a large cheque.
These contributions will be used to transport the teams to the various venues, supply meals and uniforms among other things. Each team will also receive playing kits and text books while players will receive trophies.
Guyana Football Federation Competitions Coordinator, Lawrence ‘Sparrow’ Griffith will be lending his expertise to the organizers in a similar capacity. The action commences with the opening ceremony on Sunday 16 at the GFC Ground, Bourda and ends at that very venue with the finals, third place playoff and prize giving ceremony on January 12 next.
