After being sworn into office, Ramkumar promised that his Executives would work hard to make the Mt. Sinai Cricket Club one of the best in Berbice and to also play a major role in getting youths to stay away from social ills. He expressed gratitude to the Mayor & Town Council of New Amsterdam and the Guyana Police Force ‘B’ Division for their efforts in getting the Club going after a period of being dormant. Vice President Neil Rudder, a retired Prison Officer, stated that he was delighted to serve the youths in his community and to make sure that the Club would be administered in the best interest of all its members.

Special Guest, Christopher Jones congratulated the newly elected Executive Committee and urged them to be role models to every member, to listen to the needs of members and to make sure that all clubs records are in order.
