Death of Simon Budhoo is a loss to RHTY&SC

Jun 19, 2015 Sports

The Management and Members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) were thrown into a state of mourning on Monday at the sudden death of its Assistant Organising Secretary and Senior Cricket Official, 41-year-old Simon Budhoo, who died at the New Amsterdam Hospital after a brief illness.
Secretary /CEO of the Club, Hilbert Foster said that the death of the hardworking club executive is a huge blow since he was one of their most energetic officials. Budhoo, who joined the club in 2002 was also an executive of the club’s Over-35 Section and was appointed a Cricket Manager in 2013.
Foster hailed Budhoo as one of the main reasons why RHTY&SC has been so successful over the last decade and noted that the late Budhoo played a major role in the ongoing Silver Jubilee Anniversary Celebrations.
He held responsibility for the club’s Junior Cricket teams and fundraising activities and also played a major role in the development of numerous players who went on to represent Berbice, Guyana and the West Indies.
It was noted that the late Budhoo also assisted in organizing the recently held Cricket Development Raffle while also working alongside Foster in pulling off events including the Annual Awards Ceremony, Cricket Academy, Ansa McAl Awards of Excellence, Tribute to Heroes, Monthly Charity Programme and the Republic Bank Summer Camp.
The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club is extending sympathy to the family of the late Simon Budhoo, especially his two young sons. The club would soon disclose plans to honour Budhoo’s memory.
