Sports sponsorship in Guyana is sometimes very difficult to obtain and even when it is, most sponsorship tends to be one off deals. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC) however has an unrivaled ability to maintain sponsorship with their sponsors for long periods.
This was the case on Wednesday last when the Georgetown based Farfan & Mendes Ltd renewed their sponsorship for the club’s Under-15 cricket team for the 17th consecutive year. The Urquhart Street business entity has been sponsoring the defending Berbice Under-15 Champions since 1997 and has pledged to a long term relationship with Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster expressed gratitude to the Management of Farfan & Mendes for their continued confidence in the Club and for investing in the future of the young players. RHTY&SC Under-15 Team under the Farfan & Mendes Under-15 has won the Berbice championship four times and numerous others organised by the Club.
The team has also produced a total of twelve national players including Test player Assad Fudadin, ODI player Royston Crandon, Abdel Fudadin, Delbert Hicks, Shevon Marks, Shawn Pereira, Phaffiana Millington, Dominique Rikhi and Parmanand Narine.
A total of thirty-nine players have represented Berbice over the years at the Under-15 level. Shawn Pereira, Phaffiana Millington and Assad Fudadin also captained Guyana at the junior level.
Foster also disclosed that the Club, Farfan & Mendes Ltd Under-15 and their fellow cricket teams in the Club completed a total of 80 self-development programmes during 2013 and have committed themselves to a target of 85 this year.
These include educational, awards, charity, anti-drugs and community development programmes.
The Under-15 team would be under the Management of Office Manager Moonish Singh and Coach Winston Smith. The Captain for the 2014 season would be Kevon Anderson with Emanuel Seecharran as his deputy.
Foster also disclosed that the Club’s Disciplinary Committee would also be revamped and strengthened to ensure that all rules are respected by the membership. Marketing Manager of Farfan & Mendes stated that the Company was pleased to be associated with the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, noting that the Club has represented his Company’s brand with discipline, commitment and distinction.
The 2014 sponsorship deal is worth $200,000 while Farfan & Mendes also co-sponsors the Club’s annual Review Magazine, Annual Awards Ceremony, Educational programmes and Christmas Charity Programmes.
