After an absence of two years, The Young Warriors Cricket Club of Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice, has recently launched its major fundraiser – Mash Cup 2019. This year’s event, even though a fundraiser, will be used by the Club to reconnect with its friends, supporters, sponsors and generally, the community.
Over the years, proceeds from this event have gone towards improvements to the Club’s facilities and cover the cost of the day-to-day functions. Many schools, places of worship and other charitable organisations also benefited. The
