RHTY&SC honours Hilbert Foster in surprise ceremony
It is a norm for Hilbert Foster to honour and recognise outstanding individuals. On this occasion though, Foster was the outstanding man of the occasion.
The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC), MS, honoured the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Director and Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Vice President in a simple but significant ceremony at the St Francis Community Developers Training Hall.

Under strict COVID-19 guidelines, Foster, the long-time Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Secretary of the Club, received warm words from all those individuals who look up to him as a role model and those for whom he played a significant role in their lives. His brother, Alex Foster, was also presented with the RHTY&SC Dolphin Award, the club’s highest award, which has been awarded to 68 other respectable and outstanding persons.
Among the distinguished guests and cricket personnel present at the ceremony were GCB President and fellow CWI Director, Bissoondyal Singh, GCB’s Anil Beharry, Colin Stuart, Coach Julian Moore, and a host of national cricketers.
The ceremony, which was a surprise to GCB Vice President Foster, included family members, a few friends, and sponsors of the RHTY&SC. In addition to his recent achievements at CWI and GCB, Foster is the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) President, a recipient of the Medal of Service Award in 2019, a former Director of the Guyana Chronicle, and the National Sports Personality for 2011 among other accomplishments.
Foster, who has decades of experience in cricket administration, has continued to lead the way in cricket administration making a positive difference in the lives of youths. With his recent appointment to CWI, he will be aiming to extend his greatness across the Caribbean. (Brandon Corlette)
