President of the North Pakaraimas Sports and Culture Association (NPSCA), Roger Hinds says if hinterland residents are given an opportunity to try out for the national football team it will boost Guyana’s performance.
Hinds recently stated that the hinterland communities possess a number of very skillful and talented players but said that owing to lack of both exposure and investment they are unable to reach their true potential.
The businessman, who has decided to establish a sport and culture association, said he did so mainly for players of Region 8. “Our association, with the blessings of CDC (Community Development Councils) through its National Director Eugene Gilbert organized a major sporting championships dubbed Summer Fiesta which attracted 34 teams last year and we were able to witness first-hand the very high level of talent that these Amerindians possesses.
