Imbert, who was a Cabinet minister in that administration, however said the Alutech component of that project is being actively pursued.

The minister said the Alutech plant will, “focus on the production of high quality aluminium downstream products.” He listed pressed aluminium, coils and wheel rims as some of the products to be manufactured by Alutech.

Imbert explained that ingots will be imported and combined with state of the art technology to manufacture these products. He added the plant will also generate revenue and foreign exchange as well as create jobs.

Imbert also said no US$66.6 million credit facility was ever obtained through the China Exim Bank to finance the Alutrint project.

The boys competed in the Trinidad and Tobago leg of the competition last Saturday at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima. Unlike a regular day of football training, these boys were among 90 aspiring footballers looking to win the grand prize – a VIP trip to Old Trafford to see English Premier League club Manchester United play.

For the TT leg, coaches moved the youngsters through three skills: control, short passing and dribbling.

The skills were taken from the Manchester United Academy programme and local coaches evaluated and ranked each player. The lead coach was former England defender Terry Fenwick who works with Flow Sports and also owns the Football Factory coaching school.

Following the intense sessions, the boys participated in some fun games until the announcements were made. At the end, Forbes, a Queen’s Park player who competed in the 13-14 age group, and Benny, a member of the TT Under-17 team as well as local club St Ann’s Rangers, who was in the 16-yearold group, were the winners.

Cindy-Ann Gatt, Director of Marketing at Flow, said in her welcome remarks that the Ultimate Football Experience was an opportunity to improve skill and a step in measuring capabilities. But more important, she added, it was opportunity to begin the journey as a member of the national team or as an international star.

On May 7, Forbes and Benny will be facing young players from Grenada, St Vincent, Barbados, St Lucia, Dominica, Montserrat, Antigua/ Barbuda, St Kitts/Nevis, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Curacao.

A total of 14 North Zone players have been selected to train today for their 40-over match against East Zone which bowls off at the Aranguez Savannah from 10 am tomorrow.

The players chosen for the North Zone team are Gerald Chin, Jahrel Nedd, Abdur Juman, Matthew Gittens (St Mary’s College), Nicholas Elliot, Jeremiah Cruickshank, Jonti Ramdin, Aidan Samaroo (Fatima), Sachin Emrit, Jonathan Ward (Queen’s Royal College), Joshua James, Isaac Maude (Success Laventille), Kaiser Joseph (Trinity College) and Makelme Harewood (Diego Martin North).

The manager of the North Zone team is Kashif Sandy, while Aaron Kirbanali is the coach.

Coaches from TT as well as other Caribbean nations – Grenada, Barbados, Jamaica, Cayman Islands — will participate in the camp, with facilitators provided by British Triathlon.

The trainers are Emma Brunning, Shaun Green and Scott Murray, all with strong swimming and cycling backgrounds.

The coaching camp entails theory and practice in all the elements of triathlon at the National Aquatic Centre, Couva.

According to TTT F secretary, Karen Araujo, the course addresses the holistic development of the athlete and is intended to give regional coaches the tools to improve the performances at youth and junior levels, with the hope of qualifying for future Pan Am, Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

Participation in triathlon at junior level is growing and the Federation intends to introduce the sport to the schools and build multi-sport teams.

In the semifinals, both teams recorded convincing victories. Batting first against Tobago, South posted 125 for six with Shania Abdool cracking 77 to steer the innings.

Bowling for Tobago, Avolon Lororaine was the best bowler, snatching 2/9.

In reply, Tobago were dismissed for 59 as Shalini Samaroo took 3/15 and D Joseph picked up 2/14 to hand South a 66- run win.

In the other semifinal, South West posted 120 all out batting first against East.

Kishelle James was the top scorer for South West, scoring 22, while Anjali Goordeen pitched in with 14.

Analisa Sordeen was the best bowler for East, taking 3/16. East wrapped up a six-wicket victory with Anna Marie scoring an unbeaten 50 to guide East to 121/4.

Following the girls final, the Flow SSCL Zonal Under-19 Boys T20 final between Iere High School and San Juan North will take place from 6.30 pm.

A TT team of 51 athletes and 13 officials will aim for a stronger performance this year. In 2016, TT finished fifth on the medal standings with 14 medals – three gold, two silver and nine bronze.

Jamaica topped the medal standings followed by Barbados, Bahamas and Grenada.

Carter was reluctant to make a prediction of how many medals TT might claim in Curacao but says the team is adopting the right attitude.

“I don’t predict medals, but certainly on this team we had more people doing the standard to achieve selection than we did last year. The focus and the passion on this team seems to be a lot different to the team that went to Carifta last year. I do expect better performances,” he said.

Over 40 athletes made the Carifta standard this year which is an increase from last year.

Carter is anticipating top performances from last year’s gold medallists Tyriq Horsford and Khalifa St Fort. Horsford won the boys Under-18 javelin, while St Fort won the girls Under-20 100-metre event.

The TT coach also expects strong efforts from Joshua St Clair (boys Under-20 400m/4x- 400m/4x100m) and Rea-Ann Serville (girls Under-18 400m/4x- 400m/4x100m).

Carter added the TT boys Under- 18 relay teams and the girls Under-18 sprinters are also expected to compete at a high level.

Carter said some of the athletes are focused and hungry for success after missing out on qualification last year.

“In the past it has been somewhat difficult at times (to keep them focused). For instance, Joshua St Clair missed the standard (last year) by one tenth of a second and he did not make the team.

“This year, they really came out focused on doing well, so we had a lot of athletes making the standard early in the year.” St Clair ran a time of 47.89 seconds in the boys Under-20 400m event at the Carifta trials last year, missing the Carifta qualification standard of 47.80. The TT team had their first meeting yesterday.

But 2016 winner Sachin Kumar will not be defending his title due to academic commitments in the United States.

There will be five divisions (flights) at the four-day event – Championship, First Flight, Second Flight, Seniors and Super Seniors.

And there will be an added incentive as the top four finishers in the Championship Division will be eligible to compete at the Jamaica Classic in Montego Bay, Jamaica in June.
