RHTYSC congratulates Campbelle on been selected as GAW Women’s Captain

…5 club members involved in overall tournament
The management and members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC), MS have offered their profound congratulations to their club mate, Shemaine Campbelle on her selection as captain of the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) Women’s team in the ongoing female Massy Caribbean Premier League (CPL) tournament. The entire club and her teammates of the Rose Hall Town Metro female team are very proud of this achievement and are very confident of her doing a remarkable job while leading by example on the cricket field.

Shemaine joined the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club in 2006 at the young age of 14 years and from day one, showed her leadership abilities on and off the field. Together with Erva Giddings and Jackie Singh, she played a major role in forming the first female full time cricket team in the ancient county. The team, over the last seventeen years has produced over twenty- five national players and four West Indies players at the international level while dozens have gone on to play for Berbice at the inter- county level. Trisha Hardat and Daniela Manns have also represented the West Indies at the Under- 19 level. The Rose Hall Town Metro team in 2009 won the only national female Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) tournament under Shemaine’s captaincy and every Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) tournament as well.
Shemaine has represented the West Indies in 131 Women’s One Day Internationals and 147 T20 Internationals since making her debut in 2009 at the age of seventeen years old. She is a multi-faceted player and has scored close to 3500 international runs, taken over 50 international wickets when she used to bowl medium pace and has over one hundred dismissals as a brilliant wicket keeper. She has successfully captained her club team since 2007 and over the years has led the senior Berbice and Guyana team with great success. She also holds the distinction of been the only Guyanese female cricketer to score an international century and to captain the West Indies senior team.
“The RHTYSC wishes Shemaine the best in her new role as captain of the Amazon Warriors teams,” the Club shared.
The RHTYSC added, “The Club is also very proud that four other members are also involved in the biggest party in the cricketing world-the Caribbean Premier League. They are Plaffiana Millington for the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Shakabi Gajnabi for the Trinbago Knight Riders and Shenetta Grimmond for the Barbados Royals while West Indies player Kelvon Anderson is with the male Amazon Warriors squad. Sadly, 2022 Best Emerging Player Junior Sinclair and West Indies all- rounder Kevin Sinclair missed selection this year but we are confident that they would be back next year.”
The RHTYSC shared that this year has been a remarkable one for the club as they have produced a total of thirteen players for Guyana at all levels while twenty- two played for Berbice at the different inter county tournaments.
Special thanks were extended to the official sponsors of their cricket teams for the role they have played in nurturing the players over the years. They are Poonai Pharmacy, Farfan and Mendes Ltd, Bakewell, DDL Pepsi, Metro Office Supplies and NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour.
