Former national rugby player Cleon Baxter-Dennis on Friday presented a quantity of rugby equipment to the Guyana Rugby Referees Society (GRSS) and Pepsi Hornets Rugby Club.
The presentation, which took place at the Coca Cola shop on Carmichael Street, was made by Baxter-Dennis who presented equipment on behalf of himself and Stanley Corbin, another former national rugby player.
In the simple hand over, 16 Polo Jerseys and three Rugby balls were presented to president of the GRRS, Conrad Arjoon, who received them on behalf of the society.
Secretary of the GRRS, Terrence Grant and treasurer Michael Carrega were also at the presentation.
Baxter–Dennis also handed over on behalf of Stanley Corbin, who now resides in the United States of America, 22 hoses and three practice balls to their former club Pepsi Hornets, previously known as Laparkan Hornets.
That handing over was witnessed by president of Pepsi Hornets Peter Green, vice-president Peter Campayne and Alton Agard.
In an invited comment, Arjoon said the donation was a great initiative by Baxter-Dennis- who is still a member of the society although he resides abroad.
Arjoon noted that the donation was in the pipeline for some time.
“We are grateful for the support and the gift of the balls and the jersey,” he told Stabroek Sport. (KB)
