Home Sports “Remain focused” – RHTY&SC tells Anderson in congratulatory message
The President and members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) have congratulated club member Kelvon Anderson on scoring his maiden First-Division century, 153 versus the Headley XI in the Cricket West Indies Headley/Weekes cricket series.
In a statement, it said the club was full of pride and joy at Anderson’s achievement and was confident that it would be the first of many more to come in the future.
Anderson joined the RHTY&SC in 2011 when he accompanied his older brother to practice and in 2013, his talent was recognised when he was named the Cricketer of our 13th annual cricket academy , which attracted more than 100 youths from across the county. Anderson represented the club at the Under- 15, -17, -19, -21 and -23 levels in the intermediate, Second and First Divisions.
He presently serves as Captain of the Rose Hall Town NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour First-Division team and has been one of the top performers with the bat over the last five years. He is one of several exciting young players who have emerged from the RHTY&SC as a result of a carefully-developed plan.
The others include West Indies player Kevin Sinclair, Amazon Warriors all-rounder Junior Sinclair, promising pacer Slyus Tyndall, offspinner Jonathan Rampersaud, and West Indies players Sheneta Grimmond and Shabika Gajnabi, Matthew Pottaya and Jermey Sandia among many others.
The RHTY&SC saluted the official sponsors of the club who have all contributed to the development of Anderson over his cricketing career – Farfan and Mendes Ltd, Bakewell, DDL/Pepsi, Gizmos and Gadgets, and NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour. A special thank you was also extended to the numerous coaches who worked with the club’s youths especially Winston Smith.
The club said it was committed to upholding its pattern of excellence and looked forward to producing more players like Kelvon in the future. It also urged him to remain focused and to remember the club’s formula for success as he advanced his career – faith in God, hard work, honesty, discipline and dedication.
