Weblinks sponsors the Senior National Cricket Team Uniforms
Anguilla's newly formed Telecommunications Company Weblinks, has taken the
initiative to sponsor a number of uniforms for the Anguilla Senior
National Cricket team.
The National team will participate in the Leeward Islands Cricket
Tournament - slated to begin on May 28.
Speaking during a presentation ceremony and cocktail last night at
Paradise Cove Resort, President of the Anguilla Cricket Association Mr
Gerard Gumbs underscored the importance of the development of society
through sports.
"I am proud to say that as local Anguillians, they have seen the need to
contribute further to the development of the Anguillian society by
contributing wholeheartedly to the sponsorship of the uniform for the
local Cricket Team. These guys are truly Anguillians at heart who believe
they can make a difference in helping to nurture a good society through
their contribution to the sport of Cricket. Let us not underestimate the
value that playing sports has on the lives of our people, especially our
young people. Sports is still today, an aspect of our life that calls for
tremendous personal discipline, on and off the field of play. If you check
professional sportsmen, most of them talk about being role models within
their community and giving back to their communities. It is through
efforts such as this sponsorship that we here in Anguilla can mold young
people into productive men and women, as interaction through sports helps
to build character, respect and discipline." President of the Anguilla
Cricket Association Mr Gerard Gumbs.
In making the presentation, Weblinks representative, Mr Kennedy Hodge
stated that he hopes Weblinks will someday be able to provide sponsorship
for all expenses of the National Team.
The Company has this year provided team members with three warm up
t-shirts, playing shirts, warm up pants and a travelling shirt.
Weblinks is a locally owned and based company that has been in operation
since late 1999.
