Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) received sponsorship from advertisement agency Andrew’s Art on Saturday last, as the agency became the latest corporate entity to come on board with Guyana’s leading youth and sports club.
The agency, which is located at Ogle, East Coast Demerara, donated a carton of trophies to the Club, which aims to host a total of 500 programmes/activities by the December 20, 2017.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster expressed gratitude to the Management and Staff of the company, especially its Managing Director, Chandrawattie Juman.

The 20/20 tournament would be named in memory of the late Andrew Juman, founder of Andrew’s Art, while the four schools would be Lower Corentyne Secondary School; JC Chandisingh Secondary; Port Mourant Secondary; and Corentyne Comprehensive Secondary School. Each school would be permitted to play a total of seven Under-19 students and four teachers per game, while matches would start at 13:00h.
JC Chandisingh Secondary School is set to clash with Port Mourant Secondary School in the opening match, while the other two schools will play the second match. The winners would clash for championship honours, while the two losing teams would play for third place. The top teams and outstanding players will receive trophies and medals.
Foster stated that the Club was pleased to be associated in keeping the memory of the late Andrew Juman alive, as he was an outstanding friend and supporter of the RHTY&SC, MS. Among the educational programmes to be organised are spelling bees, art competitions and an essay tournament.
Juman briefly remarked that Andrew’s Art is proud to be associated with the RHTY&SC, MS as it is an organisation that is well known across Guyana for its wide range of activities and for being a role model organisation. Her late husband, she stated, was very delighted when he was inducted as a honorary member of the RHT&SC, MS in 2006 and it was only fitting that she continue the relationship with the Club and its eight cricket teams.
