The Guyana Sports Hall of Fame was officially launched last evening at the Umana Yana, Kingston with the aim of creating a collection of sporting memories that will transition throughout the ages.

The iconic voice of veteran commentator, Joseph “Reds” Perreira chaired the monumental occasion whose in depth knowledge of Guyanese history in sports is arguably unchallenged.

Reds welcomed the various representatives from the respective federations and acknowledged stalwarts in their disciplines whose names were synonymous to their sport, such as Hassan Mohammed who is dubbed the father of cycling, as well as Deputy Director of Sport, Melissa Dow-Richardson.
