The donation was done by the cricket teams of the Club; Rose Hall Town Farfan & Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Females and Gizmos & Gadgets Under-21 and the First Division teams.
Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster at the handing over ceremony stated that they had set themselves a target of 175 programmes/activities for 2013 noting that this year special emphasis would be placed on assisting other clubs in Berbice.
He noted that they are committed to lifting the standard of the game at every level. Over the years Foster disclosed the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club had donated millions of dollars worth of items to over 100 clubs in the Ancient County and would continue to do so in the future.
Addressing the large audience of members of Upper Corentyne clubs, Foster urged them to work hard, remain discipline and to make sure that they zoom in on cricket development and not personal rewards.
Chairman of the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association, Dennis D’ Andrade expressed gratitude to the Club while pledging that the association would work to lift the standard of the game in the area.
The trophy, worth $35,000 would be used in a fundraising T20 tournament organised by the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association on January 27 at the Skeldon Community Centre Ground. The tournament would be played between Skeldon, Upper Corentyne, Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets and Universal DVD Young Warriors.
Berbice power house Albion Community Centre was invited but declined to be part of the tournament which would raise funds to develop cricket in an area blessed with numerous natural talent.
