Courts adds punch as GBA Caribbean Boxing Championship gets underway
The Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) is the place to be tonight when the cream of the crop of local pugilists square off against their Caribbean counterparts in the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) four-nation Caribbean Boxing Championships and local pugilists are oozing confidence of capturing the honours when the smoke is clear.

The St. Lucians were the first to arrive in Guyana yesterday morning while the Jamaicans and Trinidadians arrived late last night. But even before the first team arrived, furniture giants, Courts (Guy) Ltd stretched out its corporate hands to the organizers and donated a cheque of $200,000 to officials of the GBA to offset the associated expenses of the tournament.
Marketing Manager of Courts (Main Street), Pamela Humphrey, was joined by Media/Marketing Officer, Trudy Abrahams and handed over the gift to President of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle. Ms Humphrey reminded that Courts has always supported amateur boxing and yesterday’s gesture was merely an extension of their chivalry.
Ms. Abrahams echoed her Marketing Manager’s sentiments and said that her company regards sports as the life and blood of any nation. “And Courts being the true corporate citizen feels obligated to support the effort of the boxing association.”
Naturally, Mr. Ninvalle was grateful for the assistance and told Courts’ executives so. He said that it is important that good relations are maintained with his organization and the corporate community if local boxers are to progress. He said that Courts has always been a friend to boxing and he hopes that such relations could transcend to other corporate entities.
