Project “Cricket Gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana” gets Trophy Stall support
Kaieteur Sports – This joint initiative between Anil Beharry and Kishan Das is grateful for the continued support of Ramesh Sunich, Owner of Trophy Stall, Bourda Market, with branches across Guyana including Port Mourant. One fiber glass softball bat was donated to this initiative and handed over to the Upper Corentyne area to assist with the development of female softball cricket. Notably, many of our current Inter County and National hardball female cricketers started their careers with softball cricket reflecting on the days of 4R Lioness, Trophy Stall Angels and others that participated in competitions run by the GFSCA.
At a simple ceremony held recently, the bat was handed over to Chandradat Nankooar by Chitra Bedessie, Manager of the Port Mourant Branch. Nankooar was high in praise for Sunich and highlighted his contributions to sports in Guyana. This project is please to see the level of interest shown by our female cricketers and we will continue to do as much as we can to assist in their development.
