The Bush Lot Rising Stars Sports Club, which is the latest team to join the ranks of First Division cricket in Berbice, was recently the proud recipients of a set of uniforms compliments of the National Milling Company of Guyana (NAMILCO). The uniforms, which were handed over at a simple presentation ceremony held at the Company’s board room, are in the colours of NAMILCO and bear the company’s logo. The uniform also displays the Maid Mariam and Thunderbolt flour brands which are premier products of the company.

Speaking at the ceremony, CEO of the company Mr. Bert Sukhai said how pleased he and his company are to be presenting the uniforms to the team. He stated that it is all part of the company’s way in being a good cooperate citizen. He exhorted the players present to work hard on their game to achieve success while at the same time making NAMILCO proud. He challenged them to be good ambassadors and let discipline and mutual respect be their guide. He also pledged his support for their future development.
The players also received words of advice from Mr. Affeeze Khan, himself a former cricketer and sports enthusiast, who exhorted them on the importance of staying in school and having a good education.
Team manager Mr. R. Saywack thanked NAMILCO for their support and pledged to work assiduously to bring glory to NAMILCO and help to make MAID MARIAM and THUNDERBOLT flours household names.
He expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Bush Lot Rising Stars and posited that the team can only grow from strength to strength with the kind of support exemplified by NAMILCO. He urged the business community to take a page out of Namilco’s book and support ventures such as these in their quest to keep youths off the streets and away from crime and drugs.
Saywack also highlighted the accomplishments of the team in the cricketing arena, beginning in 2010 to 2014, with the most recent being Kris Ramnarine’s selection to represent the national U15 team in Jamaica. He posited that even though the team is yet to win a major tournament, it’s only a matter of time.
However, in the interim, they will continue to produce quality players the caliber of Keron Fraser, Brentnol Woolford, Dellon Joseph, Adrian Singh, Randy Singh, Bramdat Singh, among others for possible Berbice and National duties.
