Fans cash in on Republic Bank CPL meet and greet

Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title sponsors Republic Bank offered up a meet-and-greet opportunity of their own on Thursday morning, featuring players from the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) and the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons.Hosted on Main Street in the capital city, cricket fans flocked to the bank’s parking lot for the opportunity to take photos and get autographs from the regional stars whilst also getting in on some Republic Bank merch.
On hand was Republic Bank Marketing and Communications Manager Jonelle Dummett, who gave some insight as to why the entity took that bold step.
“Well, as title sponsor and official bank of the CPL, we take the opportunity to give our fans, the players, the opportunity to meet, and it’s just as it’s called, a meet and greet where we have some of the CPL players from the Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Antigua Falcons players who are meeting with customers, passers-by, just the ordinary man in the street, and it’s an activity whereby the players have the opportunity to interact with persons who are coming, and persons have the opportunity to play different activities, win merch and get in on some of the CPL fun,” Dummett shared about the initiative.

Turning her attention to Republic Bank’s major role in the CPL, she noted, “This is the third consecutive year that we’re the title sponsor, and this is one of our major sport partnerships across the region. It is very important for Republic Bank because we believe in engaging our communities, and through the Caribbean Premier League, we are able to bring the Caribbean’s much-loved sport to our Caribbean nations. Through this partnership we are able, not only to impact our communities, but also the region and the sport, as well as provide opportunities for our players.”
Amongst the cricketers present at Thursday morning’s meet and greet were GAW’s Romario Shepherd and Shamarh Brooks, alongside Falcons’ Jayden Seales, Jewel Andrew, Shamar Springer and Karima Gore.
