The Pepsi Under-19 team of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club has provided trophies and medals which will be used as tokens for outstanding players in the highly anticipated Berbice Cricket Board Fundraiser, “Caricom Championship 2015”. After two postponements due to the inclement weather, the tournament will now be played on Saturday August 1, 2015, a national holiday at the Albion Sports Complex.
Proceeds from this event will be used mainly to organise a three day first division cricket competition for teams in Berbice.
At the presentation ceremony held recently, Sohan Harry, representing one of the most progressive youth clubs in Guyana and arguably the Caribbean, said that the clubs under 19 team believes in giving and is happy to be part of this mega event fundraiser.

He thanked the RHTY&SC for their kind gesture and commended them for helping to make a difference in the lives of many.
