Guyana Lottery Company supports Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycling Club
Kaieteur News – The Guyana Lottery Company has thrown its support behind the Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycling Club for their 2022/2023 season.
This was disclosed by both parties yesterday at a simple ceremony held at the company’s head office in Lamaha Street.

The clubs’ Assistant Secretary Treasurer Jeffrey Yearwood expressed gratitude to the company and said this support will go a long way towards the development of young cyclists there.
“We are really thankful for this; it’s something that we have been working on for a while. I am pleased that the company took the opportunity and we are happy for their support,” he added.
Jeffrey said that the club was established in 2009 and has about 23 active cyclists. “Most of them would compete in our domestic races in Linden, while a few would participate in races in Georgetown. We have a youthful club and training sessions are usually held on certain weekdays,” he noted.
He stated that the club is focused on building the youths within Linden and this will serve as a motivation factor.
The company’s brand ambassador Rawle Toney said they have been supporting sports for a number of years, but they haven’t done much in the Linden area. “We see this as a huge step for us since there are clubs in the community which have produced some of Guyana’s top cycling talent. We want them to preserve that talent and to produce more, so we hope that this partnership blossom nicely,” he pointed out.
Toney stated that this is just the start of a long term venture with the company and club.
“It’s more than just hopping on board; we intend to support their meets in the coming months, so this is just the start of a really long term relationship,” he said. (Zaheer Mohamed)
