VSH Guyana Inc put ‘Red Wings’ behind Rawle Toney 3XC Classic in Linden
The local distributors of Red Wings safety products, VSH United Guyana Inc, have become the latest sponsors of the Linden edition of the Rawle Toney 3X3 Classic.
The eight-team tournament is set for play on Saturday, April 23, at the residence of National Sports Commission (NSC) Chairman Kashif Muhammad in Richmond Hill, Linden.
At a simple presentation at their Carmichael Street, Georgetown location, the company handed over a cheque of an undisclosed sum to tournament organiser Rawle Toney, to be used towards staging the event.

Apart from being official suppliers of Red Wings safety products in Guyana since 2015, VSH United Guyana Inc, a member of the VSH Group of Companies, are also distributors of Hexarmor products, and offer logistics and other services that are geared towards the country’s booming oil and gas industry.
The company have lauded Toney for his passion in helping to keep basketball afloat through the 3X3 format, which has become increasingly popular across the Caribbean and further afield.
Toney has thanked the company for their support, adding that it would certainly help in the quest to reignite the sport of basketball in Linden, which he said has been dormant for over two years.
Meanwhile, Toney has pointed out that, apart from uniforms, each team would receive $25,000 as an appreciation for participating. The winning team would be awarded $100,000, while the second- placed team would be awarded $50,000 and the third-placed team $30,000.
Linden is celebrating 52 years as a town, and the tournament would mark the start of the week-long series of events to commemorate the occasion.
