Banking & Finance student and national player, Tekeisha DeLeon is the new treasurer while Pre-Law student Latoya Rogers was elected to the post of secretary. However, outgoing president Joel Hunte will remain on the committee as the assistant secretary/treasure while St. Stanislaus College fourth form students Cherub Autar and Hilmar Chester are the two junior representatives on the committee.
The club was formed in 2012 by past and present students of St. Stanislaus College and has since developed considerably, both in terms of the size of their membership and on-field performances. The club’s improved performance was highlighted in 2016 when they won tournaments for the first time since their existence. The club’s first win came in July when they won the Under 14 boys category at the GCC/Igloo sponsored junior tournament and then followed that up in October by winning the under 13 mixed category at the National Junior Indoor Championships. Also in May of 2016 three members of the club, Ato Greene, Paramanand Dindial and Hilton Chester represented Guyana at the Pan American Junior Championships in Toronto, Canada.
The next year promises to be an exciting year for the club as its young women’s team will be making their debut in local senior competitions. The club also plans to host a tournament for the first time and, with the help of the corporate community, give their junior players a taste of international competition in Trinidad & Tobago later this year.
The club is also expected to be a part of the Bounty/Antonio’s Grille One Day Tournament on Sunday at the National Stadium, Providence.
