Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster collected the cheque from FML Marketing Officer Deylon Josiah and hailed the relationship between the two entities as unique and special. The Company which became the official sponsor of the team in 1992 has invested millions of dollars resulting in 11 national Under-15 players, 43 for Berbice, one for the West Indies and four Berbice championships.
Players produced by the Rose Hall Town Farfan &Mendes Under-15 team include Assad Fudadin, Royston Crandon, Delbert Hicks, Abdel Fudadin, Shawn Pereira and Dominique Rikhi.
The team has won the last two Berbice Under-15 titles and over the past 16 years completed over 400 Personal Development Programmes under the headings of Charity, Pro-education, Anti-drugs, Cricket, Youth and Community Development.
Foster expressed gratitude to the Management of the company for their continued confidence in the Club while pledging that the Under-15 team would continue to uphold their usual high standards.
FML Marketing Manager Onai Vasconcellos stated that his company was pleased to be associated with the Club as it has successfully promoted the Company’s brand. The Rose Hall Town Farfan & Mendes Under-15 Team has started its preparation for the Berbice Cricket Board Tenelec Inc. Tournament which started last year. Daniel Lewis is the Captain with Brandon Prashad as his deputy while Patrick Lewis will serve as Manager and Michael Hyles Franco as Head Coach.
