Rose Hall Estate Community Center CC benefit from promising cricketers project
The Rose Hall Estate Community Center Cricket Club was recently presented with a pair of stumps and bails compliments of project; ‘Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers in Guyana’.
The gift to the club was made possible through Anil Beharry who visited the area recently and saw the need for it. This initiative is a joint effort by Kishan Das of the USA and Beharry of Guyana.
In presenting the token, Beharry said that he was pleased with the work of the club mainly through their leaders, Dr. Cecil Beharry and Ameer Rahaman. He further commended the club for a strong youth programme and praised them for producing arguably the fastest young pacer in the Caribbean, Isiah Thorne.
Adrian Hetmyer proudly displays the token.
He added that more help will be made available to young and promising players. In response, Ameer Rahaman said thanks and he praised the initiative to support cricket and cricketers across Guyana.
Their aim is to provide cricket gear free of cost for young and talented cricketers in Guyana. The project is seeking new and used cricket gear which will then be distributed across the length and breadth of Guyana.
Total cricket related items collected so far: $40,000 cash, two cricket boots, twelve pairs of batting pads, twelve bats, nine pairs of batting gloves and four cricket bags. Sixteen young players from Essequibo Coast, Pomeroon and the East Canje area have already benefited from a junior gear bag, five bats, six pairs of batting pads and four pairs of batting gloves. Two clubs in Pomeroon will also benefit from two used bats. RHCCCC now joins the list.
Talent spotting is being done across Guyana along with guidance from club leaders to identify the players. Players must be in school and disciplined. Players above school age will also be considered.
Das and Beharry would like to thank Imran and Javed Khan of West Indian Sports Complex, Option Group, Bish Panday of P and P Insurance Brokers, Sean Devers, Travis Simon, Hilbert Foster of RHTY&SC, Ariel Tilku, Aaron Beharry, Devon Ramnauth, Sherman Austin, Teddy Singh, Leana Bachan and Imran Saccoor, Romesh Munna, Ravi Etwaroo, Ravin Harkishun, Surendra Harkishun, Allan Mangru and Vishal Mahabir.
More distribution will be done as soon as gear arrives from the USA and the Covid 19 pandemic is under control. Anyone interested to contribute can contact Anil Beharry on 623 6875 or Kishan Das on 1 718 664 0896.
