Principals from secondary schools across Antigua and Barbuda received funding on Thursday to support their sports programmes.

The Ministry of Sports distributed cheques at a School-Sports Collaboration Meeting held at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium. Allocations were based on each school’s population and needs, with some receiving up to $20,000.

Minister of Sports Daryll Matthew said the funding fulfils a commitment made earlier this year at the National Sports Awards and aims to help schools cover the costs of managing sports activities.

Schools benefiting included Clare Hall Secondary, Ottos Comprehensive, All Saints Secondary, Sir Novelle Richards Academy, Pares Secondary, Irene B. Williams Secondary, Jennings Secondary, St Mary’s Secondary, Antigua Grammar, Antigua Girls High, Princess Margaret School, the Harrison Centre, and Sir McChesney George High.

Prize money was also awarded to schools that placed in the recent Interschool Track and Field Championships.

  1. Don’t primary schools engage in sporting activities as well. They lay the foundation. Let us be sensible and do the thing right.

  2. Oh how I wish we had all this support and benefits back in the day to push us as youths, cause in today’s society even with all this, one may ask the question why are so many of our youths still going astray?
    I remembered heading to the ministry of sport to pick up cricket gears from Pat White before our cricket matches, not forgetting finding your own way to the cricket field and back.
    I wonder how far athletes like Lester Benjamin and my boy kalipas would have gone and how about Little Z in soccer? Richie and Eldine had to work real hard, but they made it.
    Could players like Nia, Jobe and Montigue made it to the NBA? We didn’t have or get much back then, but we stayed focus. Today! they are being rewarded left and right but choose to sit on the bench.
