Guyana’s current cricket captain Leon Rayon Johnson said yesterday that he felt humbled to receive the national award, the Golden Arrow of Achievement noting this accolade “dwarfs” the others.
In an invited comment by Stabroek Sport, the 31-year-old stated “I’m very honoured to receive this prestigious award, I have won many awards during my career but this one surely dwarfs the others.”
The captain was listed among a number of reputable citizens recognized by David Granger, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana on the occasion of the 49th Republic Anniversary of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, and have been identified to receive national awards later in the year.
