GuyanaNRA receives sponsorship boost from Continental Group of Companies

Regional Short-Range champions, Guyana, has received a financial boost ahead of the Guyana National Rifle Association (GuyanaNRA) title defense of the title at this year’s West Indies Fullbore Shooting Championships, set for Antigua and Barbuda, next month.

Continental Group of Companies made the timely donation to the GuyanaNRA, stating that they are confident the Guyanese will once again represent the nation with pride.

Handing over the cheque on behalf of Continental Group of Companies was Accounts Clerk, Sandra Dwarka to reigning Caribbean Fullbore Shooting Individual Champion, Peter Persaud.

Dwarka expressed delight on behalf of her company to Persaud for the opportunity to make a contribution towards Guyana’s quest to continue its dominance of the sport at the Short Range level.

“Continental Group of Companies is well pleased with the exploits of this team at the Caribbean level. We are also aware of the financial requirements to ensure that you are able to prepare properly and be in the perfect frame of mind to hit the target, thus our support. We wish the team well.”

Persaud, in response, expressed gratitude to Dwarka and Management of the Continental Group of Companies on behalf of the President, executive and Captain of the GuyanaNRA.

“We are very thankful for your continued partnership and support which will go towards us being able to be properly prepared for the task at hand. We want to also assure you that the Golden Arrowhead will continue to fly high as we do intend to take care of business as usual.”

Guyana will come up against the formidable Antigua and Barbuda team, which has been improving steadily, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica.

Meanwhile, the GuyanaNRA is also preparing to welcome a 22-member English Rifle Team to these shores for a Goodwill championship ahead of the Caribbean Championships, slated for April 13-19.

The two nations have always been involved in these exchanges and the locals will be using the championship to garner much needed international to level practice ahead of the WIFBSC in Antigua and Barbuda.
