RHTYSC to host 13th annual Naeem Nasir Memorial Tournament on Sunday

Oct 01, 2025 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – The Area H Ground in the small township of Rose Hall Town would come alive in a blaze of glory on Sunday when the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS, hosts the thirteenth edition of the Naeem Nasir Memorial Tournament. The one-day tournament would be sponsored by popular Bakery, Bakewell, in memory of Mr Naeem Nasir, the founder of the company.

Cricket Manager of the RHTYSC, Robby Kissoonlall, disclosed that seven teams would be playing in the tournament, which bowls off at 9:00hrs. The teams would be Rose Hall Town Bakewell, Skeldon, Achievers, Rose Hall Tigers, Guymine Belvedere United and Tain Block Four. The matches would be played eight overs per side in the first round, while the semifinals and the grand finals would be played ten overs each. The winning team would pocket one hundred thousand dollars while the runner-up would take home fifty thousand dollars plus attractive trophies. The organisers disclosed that the event would be a family affair with a non alcoholic bar, popular music by the True Heart Family while live commentary would be provided as well. Teams would be allowed a total of three first division players once they are not debarred by the Berbice Cricket Board for the current cricket season. Players under the age of 21 years would not be considered a 1st division player.

The RHTYSC, with sponsorship from Bakewell, has organised the tournament since Nasir died in 2012. Bakewell and the cricket club have enjoyed a very productive relationship since 2000, when the bakery came on board as the official sponsor of the U17 and second division teams. The relationship has resulted in over a dozen championship victories as the teams have produced over sixty players for Berbice. Guyana and the West Indies combined. They include players like Esuan Crandon, Assad Fudadin, Royston Crandon, Kelvon Anderson, Kevin Sinclair, Junior Sinclair, Clinton Pestano, Jonathan Rampersaud, Shemaine Campbelle and Erva Giddings.

Meanwhile, the Rose Hall Town Bakewell has announced their team for the tournament.

Surendra Kissoonlall (captain), Jonathan Rampersaud-vice captain, Romesh Bharrat, Matthew Pottaya, Tameshwar Deochand, Chanderpaul Govindan, Leon Reddi, Javed Karim, Keith Simpson, Junior Babb, Jeremy Sandia, Rafell Mckenzie, Ramzan Koobir, Munesh Rampersaud and Nicholas Cameron.
