ALGICO/Rotary Games at stadium

UNDER the theme “Twelve Years of Magic”, the Port-of- Spain and Environs Education District, in collaboration with sponsors ALGICO, will be staging the ALGICO/Rotary Games 2003 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port-of- Spain tomorrow.

The topic was derived from the 12 successive victories of the Port-of-Spain and Environs at the National Primary School Track and Field Championships. As many as 76 primary schools in the Port-of-Spain Education District are expected to take part at the Games, which will be officially opened by Education Minister Hazel Manning at 9.15 am. Other dignitaries expected to be at the opening ceremony are Sports Minister Roger Boynes, Port-of-Spain Mayor Murchison Brown, Director of School Supervision Janice Blackman, Junior Culture Minister Eddie Hart, President of the Port-of- Spain Rotary Club Christopher Knaggs and General Manager of ALGICO Barry Edghill.

Reigning Zonal Champs is the West ‘A’ Zone with Carenage Girls’ Government, St Michael’s School for Boys and Maraval RC expected to dominate proceedings, despite the challenge posed by joint 2002 winners West ‘B’ with the likes of Diego Martin Government, Diego Martin Boys’ RC and Diamond Vale Government in the fray. Other top athletes in the reckoning are Kevin Skinner from the Central ‘B’ Zone and Marissa Gayle from the North ‘B’ Zone, as well as Michelle Lee Ahyee, Claudia Herrera and Racquel King. And four persons will be honoured for their outstanding contribution to education and sport — Evelyn Ferreira, Barbara Lowhar, Francesca Rousseau and the late Neil Charles.
