POS Rotary honours young athletes

The function was attended by the overall winners of the track and field events, their parents, coaches, school administrators, ministry officials, sponsors and members of the Rotary Club’s Board of Directors, headed by president Howard Sabga, and James Devers, club chair for the games.

Kevin Nancoo, games co-ordinator expressed the hope that these overall winners will take the district to an unprecedented seventh-time victory at the National Games on May 16, “when we will again, in the words of MX Prime and The Ultimate Rejects, show that ‘we don’t business’. The stadium could fall down, Port-of-Spain winning still! We now have a wonderful head coach and chairman of the Sports Council in our midst in Ms Abeyola Akowe, who knows how to plan, prepare and win and we will not let her down.

“To Mrs Betty Adams Skeete, our School Supervisor III, and Mrs Simonetta Williams, our School Supervisor II, Port-of- Spain and environs, we will ensure we win this year’s National Championship in May for you.” Sabga acknowledged Nancoo, the generous contributions from sponsors and partners, and Rotarian Devers, who along with his team of Rotarians put the event together. “Much work went into the games and the effort certainly showed.” Those who received awards were: Savion Adams (Victor Ludorum Under 9), Naima Julius (Victrix Ludorum Under 9), Makaelan Woods (Victor Ludorum Under 11), Fatimah Springer (Victrix Ludorum Under 11), Kyrell Thomas (Victor Ludorum Under 13), Janika Jordan (Victrix Ludorum Under 13), Jorvan Westfield (Victor Ludorum 13- 15) and Karissa Kirton (Victrix Ludorum 13-15).
