The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) and RHTY&SC tournament would bowl off in early February and would be one of the two hundred programmes/activities planned this year in observance of this historic milsetone.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster informed that the tournament would be contested by the Belvedere Primary, Rose Hall Primary, Port Mourant Primary and Tain Primary schools. The 10-overs per side / one day tournament would be played at the Area ‘H’ ground on Thursday February 12.

The winning team, runners-up and outstanding players would receive trophies and medals. The long standing club Secretary/CEO revealed that the RHTY&SC would use the tournament to identify promising players for its junior development programmes that would be conducted by Coach Delbert Hicks.
The club would also promote the ‘Say Yes to Education and Say No to Drugs and Suicide’ message to the players. Foster expressed gratitude to the Management of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company, especially its CEO Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Marketing Officer Ms. Anji Hackett and Public Relations Officer Ms. Allison Parker for their support.
