Based in Church Street, New Amsterdam, Impressive Signs has become the latest sponsor to come on board with the Young Warriors Cricket Club’s (YWCC) fund raising activity, the Mash Cup 2017.
The event which is in its fourth instalment is booked for April 30 at the picturesque Cumberland Cricket Ground, East Canje, Berbice.

A release from the Cumberland based Cricket Club said that the tournament was originally fixed for the traditional Mash day but due to the rainy season, it was postponed to April 9. However, that date would have clashed with the Pakistan tour to Guyana and therefore signalled a further move to the date now set.
The organisers have indicated that everything is in place for this mega event which has been the major fund raiser for the club over the years.
Proceeds from this event assists to take care of its cricket programs. Over the years, funds from this event were also donated for religious and educational purposes as part of the club’s policy towards community development. Betsy Ground Triple Stars are the defending champions.
It is expected that a number of teams from the East Canje area will compete in the action packed five overs aside cricket competition for prize monies of over $100,000.00. Two top Masters softball teams in Guyana are expected to do battle in a 15 overs aside feature game. There will be added attractions for the kids and the entire family. Live musical entertainment and a well-stocked bar will be there.
At the simple presentation ceremony held recently, Dave Rampersaud, Managing Director of Impressive Signs, said he was delighted to be part of this event. He emphasized the role sports play in the development of young people and the communities in which they live. He promised continued support. In response, Ray Ali, treasurer of the club was thankful for the support and promised that the event will be well run and provide fun and entertainment for the entire family. He encouraged the general public to support the business entity that produces top quality products such as banners, number plates, signs and tinting. Recently, the company opened a printery providing service like invitations, cards etc, Ali went on to say.
Mash Cup 2016 raised close to $500,000.00 and the club would like to thank all the sponsors for their continued support while encouraging them to come out and witness the action on the scheduled date.
