Homeline Furnishing boosts Cougars FC with gear presentation

Cougars Football Club has received a timely boost to its preparations after Homeline Furnishing on Friday presented a full set of football gear to the club during a simple ceremony in New Amsterdam, Berbice.
The presentation included playing jerseys, training wear, socks and footballs, as Homeline Furnishing continued its support for one of Berbice’s longest-serving football institutions.
Speaking at the ceremony, Homeline Furnishing Manager Amanda Hanif said the company was proud to be associated with Cougars FC and to play a role in supporting community-based sports.
She noted that the sponsorship formed part of Homeline’s wider commitment to giving back and strengthening grassroots initiatives, particularly those that positively engage young people.

Cougars FC Coach Philip Carrenton, in welcoming the support, described the occasion as a “ceremony of giving and receiving” and expressed gratitude for the continued partnership.
Carrenton pointed out that Cougars FC, which was established in 1973, remains one of the oldest active football clubs in Berbice and continues to play a vital role in the local football landscape.
He noted that for the past three years Homeline Furnishing has provided seasonal sponsorship to the club, supplying gear and other forms of support that help sustain its programmes and competitiveness.
Carrenton also highlighted that the relationship went beyond sponsorship, explaining that Cougars FC proudly served as ambassadors for the Homeline brand, particularly within the New Amsterdam and wider Berbice community.
Founded more than five decades ago, Cougars FC has been a consistent presence in Berbice football, fielding teams in senior competitions and contributing to the development of players who have gone on to represent clubs and leagues across the county.
Club officials say the latest donation will assist the team as it continues its preparations for upcoming domestic competitions, while reinforcing the importance of Private-Sector involvement in sustaining community sport.
The presentation ended with expressions of appreciation from players and officials, who described the support as both practical and motivational as the club looked ahead to the new football season. (G-4)
