NY East Canje Reunion supports Rose Hall Estate Cricket Club

At a presentation ceremony held at the Rose Hall Estate Cricket Club in East Canje Berbice over the weekend, the New York East Canje Reunion group donated $210,000 cash to the executives of this newly resuscitated club.
In presenting the cash on behalf of the donor, former national senior cricketer and coach Hubern Evans stated that the funds donated are intended to help the club acquire good quality covers for the pitch. He urged the recipients to raise the balance of the cost and purchase the covers as soon as possible.
He added that the Association is always happy to give back to charity in the East Canje area, and this is just one of many donations to come.

Assessment examinations of 2018 amounted to over US$4,000.
Receiving the cash on behalf of the cricket club, Vice President Charran Singh thanked the NY East Canje Reunion group for their timely and kind donation, and said the club had been dormant for many years. Singh reminded that the club had produced the first Test cricketer from the area, Leonard Baichan.
He added that the venue once boasted first class status, and had hosted several games before its sudden decline.
Singh promised that the club would raise the difference in the cost and purchase the covers shortly. He also informed that since its resuscitation, the club plays First Division cricket and participates in all cricket competitions run by the Berbice Cricket Board.
Thus far, the club has already produced junior cricketers for the county, with some going on to the national team. In closing his remarks, Singh thanked the Association for their continued support.
