Eight cricketers graduate from Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club Scorers Seminar
Club also launches monthly financial scheme for Junior Cricketers
Eight young cricketers drawn from the Rose Hall Town Farfan & Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17, Pepsi Under-19 and Metro Female Teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club on Sunday last successfully completed a Cricket Scorers Seminar at the Club’s Head Office at the Area ‘H’ Ground. The Seminar was organised by the Cricket Development Committee of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and was co-ordinated/hosted by Hilbert Foster and experienced Cricket Scorer Plaffiana Millington.
The Seminar is the first of its kind to be organised by the Cricket Development Committee as the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club strives to make sure that every one of its members can perform in several capacities. The main aim of the Seminar was to train a new bunch of cricket scorers to serve as backup to Plaffiana Millington, who is the official scorer of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club. Millington, a national female cricketer, has scored at the Under-19 Inter-county level and has been scoring for over five years.
Those graduating were Clement King, Joshua Wilson, Aniesa Hicks, Marian Samaroo, Shaeneeta Grimmond, Vijay Gopilall, Simon Naidu and Joel Pike.
Foster urged them to put into practice what they have learnt and stated that they would be given opportunities to score at the club matches and that more follow up seminars would be organised. The long serving Secretary/CEO also disclosed that another batch of twelve cricketers would be trained shortly while, 24 of them would be involved in training to gain knowledge in umpiring. These umpires would be used for internal club games, friendly matches and at Berbice Cricket Board matches where umpires are not provided.
All junior and female cricketers of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club later this month would also be mandated to attend a one day seminar on personal development. Among the topics to be covered would be Suicide, Personal Hygiene, Table Manners, Choosing Friends, Importance of Religion, Teenage Pregnancy and Public Manners.
Meanwhile, the Cricket Development Committee of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club has also unveiled an incentive package for junior and female cricketers of the Club. Five major awards would be shared on a monthly basis and those would be the Best Female Cricketer, Most Discipline Member, Best Attendance at Practice, Most Committed Member and Most Improved Player. Each of the awardees would receive a financial prize and would be in line to receive the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club Youth Cricketer of the Year award of $100,000 and a supply of educational materials. Only registered Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club members who have an attendance rate of 90% and Classroom average of 65% would be considered for the awards.
