There is no doubt that Bakewell is one of the main reasons why we are widely regarded in Guyana as leading a youth and sports organization. ”
The words of the Secretary / CEO of Rose Hall Youth and Town Sports Club Hilbert Foster as Guyana’s main bakewell Bakewell renewed its annual cricket sponsorship for the 22nd year running.
Foster, who is also President of the Berbice Cricket Board and Vice President of the Guyana Cricket Board, said Bakewell has been an official sponsor of the RHTYSC, MS since early 2000. The company started with the sponsorship of the Second Division team and then the team Under 17.

Bakewell Town’s Rose Hall teams have produced numerous Berbice and Guyana players over the years including Royston Crandon, Assad Fudadin, Shemaine Campbelle, Erva Giddings, Sheneta Grimmond, Kevlon Anderson, Kevin Sinclair, Junior Sinclair, Keith Simpson, Jonathan Rampersaud, Mahendra Gopilall, Jeremy Sandia, Sylus Tyndall, Dominic Rikhi, Abdel Fudadin, Khemraj Mahadeo, Brandon Prashad and Matthew Pottaya. Fudadin, Kevin Sinclair, Esuan Crandon, Royston Crandon, Kevlon Anderson have all gone on to play for the West Indies at various levels.

Both teams are forced by club managers to complete between 50 and 60 activities a year. These include a food hamper program, a cricket academy, an elderly breakfast program, TV programs, a cleaning campaign, Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Education and Say No to Suicide.

Ganga expressed confidence that the relationship would continue to be strengthened in the future.
