Foster, who is also the President of the Berbice Cricket Board, noted that the club’s continued production of national players is the result of massive investment in its youth section over the years and a special emphasis on getting them to understand their roles as sports ambassadors of Guyana’s leading youth and sports club. He noted that the cricket development programme of the club is a yearlong effort and the younger players are mentored on a regular basis by senior players and management.
The Club Secretary/CEO noted with pride that a total of nineteen RHTYSC members have gained selection at the regional level for Guyana or the West Indies- Six national senior females, four for the national females under19, two on the national under15 male, three on the under19 team, two on the national senior team and one each for CPL and Emerging Players Academy.
