Young Warriors CC/GuyBiz Establishment distribute hampers in East Canje
East Canje-based Young Warriors Cricket Club has distributed 50 hampers to elderly residents of that community in order to bring cheer during the Christmas season.
Young Warriors Cricket Club is where prolific batsman Shimron Hetmyer started playing cricket, and this club has also produced former Guyana and current USA batsman Gajanand Singh, whose brother Ishwar Singh, manager of GuyBiz, undertook this initiative with support from team members of Young Warriors Cricket Club, who handed over the hampers.
GuyBiz is a reputable procurement company. It is located in Berbice, but targets customers across the length and breadth of Guyana. Ishwar Singh is a former Senior Inter-County player and former national youth player.
The Young Warriors Cricket Club has produced many outstanding players during its years of existence. Other players who represented Berbice, Guyana, and the West Indies at different levels of competition are: Richard Ramdeen; former national captain Damodar Daesrath; Seon Hetmyer; Paul Wintz; Kwesi Maltay; Balram Samaroo; Alex Algoo; Kevin Ramdeen; Loaknauth Ramsuchit; Kassim Khan; Linden Austin; Sanjay Khan; Shazad Khan; Ishwar Singh; Aaron Beharry; Anil Beharry; Suresh Dhanai; Farouk Hussain and Daryl Narine, among many others.
Young Warriors won the first and only Shapoorji Palonji National T20 competition played by defeating Blairmont CC. In the Neal and Massy National 40-Over Competition, this club defeated the powerful Demerara Cricket Club in the final played at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, EBD. And those are just some of the championship titles this club has.
This club has also won the GCB “Club of the Year” title for two consecutive years.
