The Uitvlugt Warriors Football Club is sporting many smiling faces with Santa Claus paying the entity a timely and well received visit.
Yesterday, West Bank Demerara Gold Inc. (WBDGI) handed over a complete set of uniforms to the club which is the first part of what is anticipated to be a long term relationship towards the holistic development of the West Demerara based club.
Showering praise on London based company was Vice President Osmond McKend who accepted the donation from Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the company, Fedor Vstousky. Also attending the simple but significant presentation were GFF President (ag) Franklin Wilson and Logistics Manager of WBDGI, Raj Persaud.

McKend stated that the President, Executive and members of the club are all very grateful to WBDGI for agreeing to come on board with the donation at a time when the club is striving to ensure that it is well equipped to take care of the needs of its members.
“Uitvlugt has been one of the dominant clubs on the West Demerara over the years and we have produced a number of players that have given yeomen service to this country. We have had this year alone, players in the National Under-17, 20 and senior teams and we will continue to build on this very encouraging development.”
McKend reminded that young Golden Jaguar Treyon Bobb is also a member of his club and has done himself and country proud.
Vstousky in his remarks informed that his company has been doing business in Guyana since 2009 and they are committed to playing their part in the development of sports in Guyana and in this instance, football.
“We have been doing lots of work in the interior, Region 1 and recently in the community of Baramita, we invested millions in developing a football field and also in association with the Guyana Football Federation made donations of sports and other equipment to that community. We will continue to make such tangible investments in building the human resource which is vital to real overall development.”
Wilson in his remarks complimented WBDGI for their continued investment in the development of the sport and challenged Uitvlugt Warriors to ensure that they secure the continued relationship with the entity for the all-round progress of the club.
“Uitvlugt has been doing well this year at the association and national levels. You have made to the GFF Super League which attracts the top clubs in Guyana and have been holding your own. You need to build on this and grow from strength to strength by focusing on your youth departments.”
Persaud in brief remarks, echoed the comments made earlier by his CFO and reiterated that they are proud to be a part of Uitvlugt while wishing them the best for the Super League and other tournaments.
The club received 18 pairs of complete uniforms including two sets of goalkeeper’s uniforms along with one set of shin pads.
