The ten Cricket Teams and the Over-35 Group of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS on Tuesday 2nd January, 2018 launched their 2018 Calendar of Activities with the hosting of the first Pensioners Programme for the New Year.

Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS despite having its most successful year in 2017 was determined to make 2018 bigger and better.
