Rusty Seunarine & family donate uniforms to Cotton Tree Die Hard Club
The Cotton Tree Cricket Club of West Coast Berbice, Region Five, has become a beneficiary of 35 sets of coloured cricket uniforms from rice farmer Rusty Seunarine and his family.
The uniforms, which included shirts, trousers and hats to suit, were presented to the club during this week.
This club has made great strides in recent youth tournaments, and has produced cricketers for Berbice and Guyana youth teams. Recognising the talent inherent in this club, the Seunarines, who hail from Cotton Tree, have found it fitting to give back to a club that is close to their hearts.

Additionally, the Seunarines have undertaken to cover the expenses of a qualified coach to provide knowledge with training sessions to the Cotton Tree youths. Winston Smith of the Berbice Cricket Board is the coach who would perform this duty at Cotton Tree.
Right-arm fast bowling sensation Arif Khan is the most recognized youth player the club has produced in recent years. He represented Berbice and Guyana at youth levels, and is expected to play for the national team in the near future.
Among the club’s players who have participated in inter-county tournaments are Rashad Gaffur, Arif Bacchus and Shoaib Gaffoor.
Besides its achievements in terms of youth tournaments, this club has dominated senior inter-club cricket in the West Berbice area in recent times. Popularly known as the Cotton Tree Die Hard Club, this club was victorious at the 2024 AJM Mash It Up T20 tournament, which was witnessed by a sold-out crowd at Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice.
