Promising all rounder Tameshwar Deonandan, who is just nine years old, emerged as the Champion and took home a junior bicycle along with a package of educational material. He got past several older and experienced club mates in the earlier rounds in the tournament which attracted twenty four club members including two females. All of the players in the Tournament were rewarded with educational material as part of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS Say yes to Education programme.
Team Manager Ravindranauth Kissoonlall stated that the Tournament was the start of a two months long Coaching Campaign by the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club with its Junior Section, which include the Under-12, Under-13, Under-15, Under-17 and Under-18 Teams. Special emphasis would be placed on the Under-12 and Under-13 Teams which served as a Nursery for the rest of the Club. The Rose Hall Town Under-13 Team last year emerged as Runner up of the DaSilva Motor Spares Under-13 BCB Tournament after losing to Port Mourant in the finals.
Kissoonlall stated that the objective is to go one step further in 2019 and emerge as the Berbice Champions. The highlight of the programme would be a two weeks Cricket Academy from the 8th to 19th July, 2019, at the Area ‘H’ Ground with 120 youths. A panel of four Coaches and Senior Players would work along with the young cricketers on every aspect of their game.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster in brief remarks to the participants in the Under-13 Tournament, urged them to take full advantage of the opportunities that the Club is offering them. He told them that being a member requires them to be disciplined, hard working and committed as the Club does not tolerate indifference or laziness. He urged the young players to always show respect for their elders, to develop a love for reading and research. He spoke on the importance on knowing the History of the Game, Rules of Cricket and the Legends of Cricket especially those from Berbice. Foster, who is also the Berbice Cricket Board President, stated that with advent of Modern Technology and Social Media, there was no excuse as all the information was readily available. Similar Tournaments would be held shortly for the Under-15 and Under-17 Teams.
