Kaieteur Sports – “Over the last thirty-six years, the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club has worked hard to become one of the best in Guyana and it is our aspiration to continue doing so in the future. Our aim is to produce ten youth players for Guyana over the next five years and two more test players for the West Indies. This investment by Panthera Solutions today would play a major role in assisting us to achieve our objective.” Those were the words of RHTYSC Secretary Hilbert Foster at the official handing over ceremony of cricket gears by Panthera Solutions Ltd to the management of the club.
The presentation took place last Saturday at the St. Francis Community Developers and was witnessed by senior managers of the company, RHTYSC officials and members of the club junior cricket teams. The donation included a large amount of cricket balls, four junior cricket bats, batting pads, batting gloves, wicket keeping gloves, helmets and wicketkeeping pads.
