Showdown in North/East Aerobics

GERARD RICHARDS will face a tough challenge from Ceemoy Murray when fitness buffs take to the floor at the Woodbrook Youth Facility from 2 pm today.

This is  in the North/East Aerobics final, one of the qualifiers for the finals of the Caribbean Aerobics Championships 2.

The South/Central Zone finals were held last Saturday in Chaguanas.

One of the most consistent performers on the local circuit, Richards won the North Zone crown last year while the improving Murray was the runner-up to the eventual Caribbean champ, Gerard Ford, in the 2002 East Zone contest.

Judges will be kept busy selecting from a high quality bunch of competitors at the combined North and East final, with qualifiers booking their places for the Caribbean Aerobic Championships at the Jean Pierre Complex, Mucurapo on May 31.

Forty-six fitness enthusiasts have already advanced to the regional final following the South/Central finals.
