Under the control of Organizing Secretary Rabindranauth Kissoonlall and Assistant Secretary / CEO Simon Naidu, both teams continue to make a positive difference as part of their personal development program. One of the requirements of being a member of Rose Hall Youth and Town Sports Club is that all members will be involved in social work and community development, in order to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
The two teams last Tuesday completed the 250th mandatory activity for the club for 2021 by handing out three special prizes for holding a fundraising raffle by the Rose Hall Canje Cricket Team. The prizes were electric mixer, electric iron and electric kettle.

He noted that his club receives a wide range of support from the club and the Berbice Cricket Board, which includes scorebooks, catch cribs, cricket balls, colored uniforms, cricket gears, educational materials, bikes and trophies, among other things.
Secretary / CEO Hilbert Foster, who is also President of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), noted the efforts of Namilco’s Thunderbolt Flour teams to assist their peers, and noted that RHTY & SC strongly believes in assisting other clubs. This, he said, is to help every youngster in the county achieve their dream of becoming a professional cricketer.
