When contacted, the AJM Enterprise’s CEO indicated, “Most corporate companies fail to see the importance of developing youths through sport or outdoor activities. It’s not just about a logo on a uniform or a banner at an event. The business community must push our young players to someday reach a national level. Looking at our local super players who rally around the One Guyana banner has made us proud in the recently held CPL. This dream is on the mind and hearts of thousands of young players with exceptional potential who is yearning for a medium to showcase their talent.
Each team will be allowed only two, first division players who offer valuable expertise and advice. All games will be officiated by accredited board umpires, so players can follow all official rules and guidelines. So, I urge all the members of the business community to come on board and let’s work together to build stronger players and unite communities through sport. These events will not only provide entertainment but will provide financial gain for vendors, support staff, sound and tent companies etc.”
