ATHLETICS
Cross Channel swim set to attract Large Gathering
According to Winston Crooke of the Team Nevis Cycle
Club, the 8th annual Nevis to St.Kitts cross channel
swim is set to attract quite a huge gathering this year.
The event which has been strategically placed to exactly
one week after the grand Nevis Triathlon which will
be held this coming Sunday, is expected to attract some
more overseas participation. According to Crooke, when
the Triathlon was advertised to overseas participants,
they were also informed of the swim commencing just
one week later and several of them have make their bookings
to accommodate an extra week's stay in Nevis in order
to participate in the event.
The swim will be held on Sunday 28th March commencing
at Oualie Beach in Nevis and culminating at Cockle Shell
Beach-close to the Reggae Beach Bar.
The estimated swim distance is 4 kilometres or two and
a half miles.
Even though the top swimmers will be racing each other
to the finish point, Crooke explained that the majority
of participants normally register to attain that sense
of achievement-'been there -done that'.
In the seven year history of the event, the youngest
known participant to complete the course has been a
nine year old Antiguan and the two oldest participants
have been two ladies in their seventies.
Crooke is encouraging persons interested to participate
and promises top security for the swimmers from start
to finish as especially the weaker swimmers will be
constantly monitored. They will be accompanied by at
least twenty kayaks and several boats, all the way through.
When asked about the possibility of sharks, Crooke explained
that they have never encountered any sharks during the
seven years of the event.
Quite a number of swimmers are expected from Ross University
over in St.Kitts and the MUA in Nevis.
A donation will also
be made to the Pink Lily Cancer Foundation, as a result
of the registration monies received from the event.
Inter Primary Meet
Press Conference Held
The Nevis Amateur Athletics Association (NAAA) held
what has become its annual pre Inter Primary meet
press conference yesterday. The event which was streamed
live via the internet and also carried live on Choice
Radio 105.3 FM was held at the Red Cross Headquarters
at Chapel Street, down
town Charlestown.
The forum was chaired
by NAAA representative, Halstead 'Sooty' Byron and
present at the Head Table were: 'Mr. Athletics' himself-President
of the NAAA, Lester Blackett, Representative for Chief
sponsors, Gulf Insurance-Mr. Arthur Evelyn; Director
of Sports-Lincoln Barry and Sports Coordinator on
Nevis, Mrs Lydia Thompson Claxton representing the
Ministry and Department of Education.
Brief remarks were
given by Chairperson Mr. Byron and this was followed
by remarks from NAAA Chief, Lester Blackett. He was
quick to point out some brand new initiatives that
will feature at the 2010 meet:
· The athletes' area will be located on the
Eastern side or the hillside at the Elquemedo Willet
Park, close to the cricket nets.
· The warm up area for the athletes will also
be located close to the athletes' area; instead of
the Villa grounds as has been the custom.
· Additional seats will be provided for athletes
and spectators alike at the Eastern end of the ground.
He also explained that the meet will be carried live
via internet and television due to linkages with Caribbean
Cable Communications. The website to be utilized is
www.nevispsc.com.
Each school is being encouraged to bring along a lap
top to the meet and they would be provided with real
time access to results and general updates as the
meet progresses. Spectators who have lap tops will
also receive the same privilege.
Mrs. Lydia Thompson-Claxton
then spoke on behalf of the Ministry and Department
of Education. She explained that it has been an honour
for the Ministry to team up with the NAAA for over
18 years to host the event.
She admonished the athletes to demonstrate sportsmanship
and discipline and reminded them that they were no
longer showcasing their skills and abilities to the
Nevisian population but to the entire world due to
the upgrades initiated by the NAAA in terms of technological
coverage of the event.
She was high in praise for chief sponsors Gulf Insurance
and local representative, Mr. Evelyn. She also gave
kudos to Director of Sports, Lincoln Barry and his
staff for the tremendous work put in to enhance the
tracks for the various sports meets held on the island,
but especially for the work done at the Flats in Cole
Hill, to make the St.John's Sports meet a reality.
Mr. Damian Hughes, Manager at the Caribbean Cable
Communications which is a major player in this year's
event, was also afforded the opportunity to say a
few words. He indicated that his company was happy
to be associated with the meet and happy to give back
to the Nevisian community. He further indicated that
his staff was in the process of placing fibre optic
cable into the Elquemedo Willet Park which will facilitate
live streaming of the meet and live television coverage.
Mr. Arthur Evelyn
in representing chief sponsors Gulf Insurance expressed
his joy at been associated with the event over the
last 18 years-he himself being associated with his
company for 32 years.
He was happy to report that the sponsorship deal for
this year will be to the tune of $35,000.00 as was
the case last year, having made a two year arrangement.
He was unable to project what the new deal would be
for next year but indicated that his company is so
enthused with the event that no less a person than
the Chairman of his company, based in Trinidad, Mr.
Gerard Inniss will be an honoured guest at the event
this year.
Director of Sports,
Mr. Lincoln Barry explained that in previous years
as an individual, he would support the school closest
to him but that this year, because of his involvement
with all of the schools; his hands were virtually
tied in terms of personal support.
He expressed his dream of Nevis eventually having
a 400 meter track and wished the meet every success
and pledged his continued support, along with his
staff.
Mr. Lester Blackett
then took the audience through the paces with the
new website and face book page Nevis athletics. The
press conference concluded with the panel fielding
questions from the numerous journalists present.

meters dash, right down to the scintillating relay
races which climaxed the event.
At the end of the day, the final results were:
Green-284

St James' ready for big contest
Coach of the St.James' Primary School, Shefton Daniel
is calmly confident that his team will perform well
in the upcoming Inter Primary sports meet, slated
for March 24th.
"Training has been going well so far and I am
sure about one Class champion", he stated confidently.
Daniel indicated that this year it will be all about
strategy. The athletes will be utilized in such a
way that they will bring more points to the team's
overall success than individual glory. He is confident
that his school will win in its zone and is inviting
everyone out to what he anticipates will be a keenly
contested meet.
He however would like to see the spectators in 'a
little piece of red'. Red being the colour for St.James'.
Even as he conducted the interview, it was observed
that he was being ably assisted by Sports Coordinator,
Lydia Thompson-Claxton as the athletes practised running
in the lanes at the Elquemedo Willet Park
The athletes themselves seemed all enthused as they
gave a royal wave to the camera.
Belle Vue and Lyn Jeffers team up again
Coach Smith at the Belle Vue Int Primary school has
indicated that there will be a combined Belle Vue
and Lyn Jeffers schools' team for the grand Inter
primary show down this year. This is the second year
that this combination will be used, after last year's
historic first.
"We don't have enough athletes at Belle Vue and
they don't have enough at Lyn Jeffers, so we thought
it best to combine the two", he explained.
He indicated that preparations are going very well
but that he is limited in terms of choices, as the
numbers are lacking.
"I just have to work with what I have",
he indicated.
He is confident though
that the athletes from the two schools will give a
good account of themselves but has stressed that his
main aim is for them to complete the races that they
enter. 'Once they do their best, I will be very happy',
he said.
He however lamented the fact that there seems to be
a lack of continuity after the Inter Primary event.
He explained that for the Inter Primary, a carrot
is dangled in front of the athletes and all of them
are pumped up for the event and exert all of their
energies towards winning. However, after the Inter
Primary, as the students progress into Secondary School
and beyond, there are no more visible carrots to be
seen and the athletes are not motivated to continue
into a major athletic career.
He is adamant that with assistance from the private
sector, combined with the efforts of Government, that
incentives can be raised to help to motivate outstanding
athletes. "Once they are motivated to continue
to train up to age 17, they will be hooked for life
and with the combination of Athletics and their education,
at least some of them would make it to the world stage",
he stated.

Clarke breaks silence and is ready for Test
Cricinfo
Michael Clarke has spoken publicly for the first time
since his sudden departure from Australia's tour and
his subsequent break-up with Lara Bingle. Clarke fronted
a packed media conference at Wellington's Westpac
Stadium, where he mentioned the support he had received
from Shane Warne and insisted the media frenzy following
him and his former fiancée would not affect
the focus on his cricket.
"I have spoken to Warney," Clarke said.
"I've spoken to a lot of my friends and my family.
He's been a wonderful friend of mine for a long time
and he was excited to see me back in New Zealand and
wished me all the best for Friday's Test match."
Clarke made a hasty exit during Australia's one-day
series when he flew back to Sydney to deal with his
relationship issues, which were followed intensely
by the Australian tabloid press. About 30 members
of the media, some of whom will return home before
the Test begins, surrounded Clarke but he said he
was solely concentrating on preparing for the game.
"I made the decision firstly to go home but then
to come back to New Zealand knowing that there was
a big Test match starting on Friday," he said.
"I knew I'd be capable to get up for that. Preparation
has been very important to me throughout my whole
career and it's no different now. Yesterday it was
important to get back in the nets and have a good
bat, see that red ball."

Coach Impressed with Players' attitudes
National Coach Stuart Clayton Williams while expressing
disappointment at the fact that only 14 of the graded
players showed up yesterday for their special league
match at the Ramsbury grounds (MWP), also indicated
that he was very impressed with the general attitude
of the players who showed up.
Williams explained that when it was realized that there
were only 14 players available, the players had a few
options: go back home, have a practice session or play
a simulation match, utilizing the players available.
"What impressed me, is that all of them to a man
wanted to play the simulation match-the guys want to
play cricket", stated Williams.
Williams further indicated that the 'match' was played
in a very competitive spirit.
The summarized results are:
Batting team one:
194 for 6 from 25 overs:
Carlon Smithen caught Nelson Boland for 3; Kejel Tyson
caught Jurnel Turner 27; Tonito Willet bowled Trevier
Smithen 100; Jason Campbell caught Trevier Smithen
8; Wasim Mintos Caught Jurnel Turner 17; Ian Byron
bowled Trevier Smithen 14. Zavero Forbes was not out
on 4 and Dymon Parris not out on 1.
Batting team two-182 for 7 from 25 overs: Javia Liburd
caught Wasim Mintos 44; Kieron Powell bowled Zavero
Forbes 15; Carlos Adolphus caught Zavero Forbes 29;
Trevier Smithen bowled Wasim Mintos 1; Nelson Boland
caught Jason Campbell 19; Adelvin Phillip bowled Ian
Byron 1 and Junie Williams caught Jason Campbell 28.
According to Williams the situation will be assessed
at a meeting scheduled for Monday 22nd March at the
Elquemedo Willet Park and the next match will hopefully
be played on Tuesday 23rd March at the same venue.

Charlestown Primary
primed for six-peat feat
The students at the Charlestown Primary school have
absolutely no doubts that this year at the upcoming
major Inter Primary schools championships, they will
be completing a historic six-peat. This was clearly
stated as they were observed in training at the Ramsbury
grounds (MWP). on Monday afternoon.
What is truly amazing
is the support that is being extended to the children.
Quite a number of parents were on hand assisting with
the drills. In addition, various athletes were being
enhanced in various disciplines from the proper passing
of the baton to running in lanes by the Caines brothers
of Titans Club fame and Stuart Clayton Williams.
Senior Coach Elquemedo Willet is confident that his
team will do the six peat. He noted that there has
been a lot of talk going around 'but talk is cheap',
he laughed.
When asked about any of the athletes he would like
to single out for the big day, Willet noted that he
had at least 12 stand out athletes and he feels that
that will be the difference on the big day because
most schools are only talking about three or four
athletes. "You can't win such an event with three
or four athletes', he stated confidently.
Coach Carol Ward was more cautious. "Everybody
knows what they have, so when we get together, we
will see what happens; she stated. She however urged
everyone to come out early as she is confident that
it will be a very competitive meet.
The athletes then
entertained by singing their battle song: We are the
ones to rock the party-first place rock it up…"

Gingerland ready
to burst Charlestown's bubble
Coach at the Joycelyn Liburd Primary School in Gingerland,
Kurvin Wallace is confident that this year, he has
the material to whip the five peat champions Charlestown
Primary and literally 'burst their bubble'.
The Coach was interviewed along with his very enthusiastic
Inter Primary squad on Monday at the Gingerland Recreation
Grounds.
"They say they will be doing the six-peat but
I more believe they are talking about six feet-'cause
they are going under", stated the confident Coach.
He further indicated that his athletes are showing
a lot more confidence than last year and apart from
an excellent annual sports meet where a number of
them excelled, they have been responding well to the
training.
In response to the talk about three and four athletes,
he indicated that he has top athletes in all of the
categories.
Wallace also took time out to applaud his support
crew and singled out Coach Latoya Bussue, Marvin Chapman,
Gavin better known as 'Bulf', Teacher Tricia Williams
who is fresh from a level one coaching stint, 'Budge',
the Headmistress and Teachers at the school and the
numerous parents who are assisting in various ways.
The children then concluded the interview with a song
dedicated to the Charlestown crew: "Charlestown
in the garden hiding---hiding from Joycelyn-Charlestown
where art thou…?"

Barbados Stop St
Kitts/Nevis in Warm up Game?
BARBADOS' women's
footballers have received a great confidence booster
ahead of their CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers.
The Bajan girls played well in patches and came out
with a welcoming 2-0 win against St Kitts-Nevis at
the National Stadium on Sunday night.
St Kitts-Nevis was competitive especially in their
attack with skipper Caroline Springer and striking
partner Kerisha Powell causing Barbados' defence a
great deal of problems with their pace and skill.
Central defender Shonna Evelyn was up to the task
and played with aggression, using her pace and intelligence
to stop any attack St Kitts sent at Barbados.
Barbados took a while to find their passing game and
gave away the ball easily on many occasions, especially
in midfield.
They then resorted to the more direct approach of
long balls which fell in the local team's favour,
with tall central defenders Rozel Liburd and Marilyn
Walwyn, easily butting the ball away.
Barbados took the lead just before the halftime whistle
with a long range shot from left-winger Kerry Trotman.
Trotman came inside her marker and released a curling
right foot shot into the "v" of the net
to send the moderate Stadium crowd into a frenzy.
Coach Richard Forde introduced some new players into
the game, obviously to assess his players before the
start of the CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers which begin
in Anguilla on March 28.
The game calmed down and both teams seemed to have
settled into their own but before St Kitts-Nevis became
too comfortable, lanky midfielder Tonia Jordan doubled
Barbados' lead in the 57th minute via another long
range effort.

CSS Edges out GSS
in close Contest
The St.Kitts-Nevis Ministry of Sports Giant Malt Secondary
Schools Cricket competition bowled off yesterday Monday
15th March.
At the Ramsbury grounds (MWP) the Charlestown Secondary
School boys won the toss and sent their Gingerland
Secondary counterparts in to bat first. The GSS team
was bowled out in 27.3 overs for 128.
Kezron Archibald top scored with 35; Shenedo Liburd
scored 19; Shawn Hanley 15 and Theron Bussue 10.
For the CSS team, Alex Williams bagged 4 wickets for
33 runs from 5 overs.
Nigel Hanley, Chavil Archibald, Ravi Sewdat and Clydre
Smithen all got one wicket each.
CSS in response scored
129 for 8 in 18.5 overs. At one point they were cruising
merrily towards the target at 114 for 2, when suddenly
everything went hay-wire and the GSS boys fought tooth
and nail right down to the final delivery. CSS managed
to drag home on 129 for 8.
Ronnie Powell Jr 34; Dymon Parris 25 and Alex Williams
15 were the main contributors to the total.
For GSS, Rondell Chapman was impressive with his 4
for 25 from 3.5 overs, ably supported by Trevin Nisbett
with his 2 for 5 from 2 overs.
The man of the match for GSS was Kezron Archibald
The man of the match for CSS was Alex Williams.
The two teams will next meet again at Cotton Ground
on Wednesday 17th March and then again at Ramsbury
on Thursday 18th March.

Maude Cross Prep
Making Do with 'Second rated team'
As the grand Inter Primary sports meet draws closer,
Sports caster Curtis Morton has embarked on a promotional
tour with the various teams that will be taking center
stage on the big day.
On Monday 15th March, he observed the Maude Cross
Prep School team during their training drills under
the watchful eyes of Coach Emmanuel Jeffers and Sports
Mistress Cherry Anne Walwyn.
Coach Jeffers is actually hoping for the best at this
stage as he indicated that some of the parents have
not been fully supportive. "Right now we have
what can best be described as a 'second rated team'
because some of our best athletes will not be on show
on March 24th" he lamented. He explained that
some of the more talented children had indicated to
their parents that they did not want to run and the
parents had supported them. "If the children
had told them that they did not feel like going to
school, would they allow it? I think not. Small wonder
we have anti social behaviour", he added.
He however feels that his team of thirty selected
athletes will put on a good showing on March 24th
and singled out Judene Tyson as the athlete to watch.
"She was joint Victrix Ludorum last year and
if she shows up on the day, we should be striking
gold from the 100 right up to the 800 meters",
he stated confidently.
Sports Mistress Cherry Anne Walwyn on the other hand
was quietly optimistic that her team would do well.
She is looking for great returns from Carlon Tuckett
in the Kindergarten category and feels that Judene
Tyson along with some other athletes will also make
her school proud on the big day and may even help
Maude Cross Prep to win the B division.

CYCLING
All Set for Major
Triathlon Event This coming Sunday
Chief organizer Winston Crooke has indicated that
all is in place for the major calendar event for the
St.Kitts-Nevis Cycling Federation as they prepare
to host the 8th annual Nevis Triathlon event. The
big event is slated for this coming Sunday-21st March.
The action will commence proper at 1.30 pm but the
athletes will be assembled in the TDC parking lot
on the Bay front Charlestown from about 10.00 am engaged
in finalizing registration exercises and their personal
preparations for the event.
As per usual, the meet will involve three basic disciplines:
The Tri-a-tri-or the novices, the Olympic and the
sprint distance athletes.
The event will commence with the swim at Gallows Bay
and the athletes will then make their way to the TDC
car park where they will mount their bikes and journey
down the Samuel Hunkins drive, en route to Cotton
Ground. At Cotton Ground all of the athletes will
make a turn and head back to their place of origin
in Charlestown.
The Tri-tri athletes will do just one lap; the sprint
distance athletes will two laps and the Olympic distance
athletes will do four laps.
Crooke indicated that the route this year has been
slightly altered so as to be more 'spectator friendly'.
Instead of going all the way to Newcastle, the athletes
will turn at Cotton Ground and repeat the laps where
necessary, so that the spectators would be able to
get a closer view as they compete.
On completion of the biking stint, the athletes will
then run to the general area of the Four Season Resort
and return to the Samuel Hunkins drive.
Crooke indicated that despite the economic crisis,
the overseas registration has exceeded expectations.
Athletes are expected in from St.Maarten, Antigua,
St.Baths, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Grenada,
England France and the USA.
Additionally, quite a number of students from the
Ross University in St.Kitts, along with students at
the MUA in Nevis will also be participating.
There is also an additional feature this year where
athletes and spectators alike can get involved in
a 5K fun run from the Samuel Hunkins drive to the
Four Seasons and back. There will be a small registration
fee and persons registering will be making a contribution
to the Pink Lily Cancer Awareness Foundation.
Top local athletes in Reggie Douglas and James Weekes
both indicated that their present training is below
par but that come Sunday, the spectators will be treated
to something special as they will be giving it their
all.
They are both urging the spectators to show up in
their numbers as they need their support to will them
on.
The flags of the various countries are already beautifully
displayed at the Bay front and the general public
on Nevis is guaranteed an electrifying treat, come
Sunday.

Red Dominates V's and J's Sports Meet
Even as the general populace on Nevis continue to
work overtime on preparations for the grand mini-Olympics
event commonly referred to as the Inter Primary Sports
meet, the attention has now turned from the Primary
and Secondary schools to the remaining Sports meets
to be held by some of the Pre schools.
The V's and J's Preschool was forced to abandon any
thoughts of hosting their Sports meet at the usual
Hard times grounds due to wet conditions there and
inclement weather.
Even at the short notice, hundreds of spectators,
showed up to witness engage each other on the track
at the Villa ground in Charlestown.
The meet was held under the patronage of Mr. Roger
Fyfield, parent and former champion long distance
runner on Nevis.
There was just one major disappointment, as the races
and their results were constantly affected due to
the interference of over enthusiastic parents and
other loved ones.
At one time the Headmistress threatened to abort the
meet if she did not receive adequate cooperation.
Fortunately, the meet continued to its scheduled conclusion.
The overall results saw:
Red-champions with 258 points
Green-second with 244 points
Gold -third 234 points.
The Victor Ludorum was Jacquan Chapman of Green house
with 33 points
The Victrix Ludorum was Kishawn Smithen of Red house
with 33 points.
