Ansa McAl joins list of sponsors for Young Warriors CC Mash Cup 2014
At a presentation held recently, Ansa McAl joined a list of sponsors for The Young Warriors Cricket Club Fundraising Cricket Tournament – Mash Cup 2014 – 2nd Edition. The tournament, which involves 2nd division teams along the #19 Road and East Canje, Berbice, is 5 overs-a-side and is to be played on Mash Day, February 23, 2014.
Ten teams will participate and the day is expected to be an action-packed for the entire family. Incentives and gate prizes with a value of over $300,000 will be up for grabs.
Mark Bhikhai, Manager of Ansa McAl Berbice hands over cheque to Hubern Evans, Coach and Vice President of the YWCC.
Mr. Mark Bhikhai, Manager of Ansa McAl Berbice, said that his company is delighted to be part of this event for the second time round. He added that his company is fully aware of its role in community development and will support events that will keep young people away from drugs and other ills of society.
Hubern Evans, Vice President of the Club, thanked Ansa McAl for their continued support and assured the sponsor that proceeds from this will go towards continued development of the club and its resources. He called on the public to support Ansa McAl so they can continue to assist charitable and sports organizations.
He stated that the first edition in 2013 was a tremendous success and proceeds raised from that event helped the club to acquire international quality covers for the pitch area at the cost of close to $600,000. He called on parents to send their young sons and daughters to join the club free of cost and to get them positively occupied. He said that over the years, despite the challenges faced, the club continues to produce quality cricketers. Evans is encouraging young cricketers to be disciplined at all times.
It is the hope of the Club that West Indies Under-19 selectee, 16-year-old Shimron Hetmyer, will inspire parents and young cricketers in the area.
Other sponsors that came on board so far are: Ashiek and Son Motor Supplies and Auto Sales, Sharple Furniture Establishment, Mangru Supermarket, Republic Bank Limited, Bob and Sons Grocery, Mursalene Bacchus and Ainlim.
Proceeds from this event will go towards further development of the Young Warriors Cricket Club located in Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice. Admission is $200 and tickets are available in advance from the executives and members of the club. There will be a well-stocked bar, music and entertainment for the kids.
