UWI Games on Sunday

TOYOTA MOTORS and the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) are the major sponsors in the $200,000 24th Bi-annual Intercampus Games (UWI Games).

The Games will be staged from Sunday, March 16 until Saturday March 22 at the newly-built Sport and Physical Education Centre (SPEC), on the St Augustine Campus of the University of the West Indies. The St Augustine athletes will compete against those from the other campuses — Mona, Jamaica and Cave Hill, Barbados in six disciplines — football, cricket, netball, basketball, volleyball and track and field (which will be staged at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo). According to Dr Iva Gloudon, head of SPEC, the facility "is the attempt within the region to develop scientific knowledge which will drive our athletes to a higher level."
