It was indeed a fantastic sports meet, as the Joycelyn Liburd Primary School held its annual sports meet at the Nevis Athletic Stadium, on Thursday 2nd March.
The joint distinguished patrons were two past outstanding athletes at the school—Rozel Liburd and Terron Lawrence.
The meet did not get off to the traditional prompt start, established by the former headmistress, Mrs. Marion Liburd, but it was not far off either.
Once the march past was out of the way, which incidentally was won by Red House, the meet flowed smoothly after that.
The races were so well coordinated that the organizers later established an extended break and slowed up the process, so that the scores of spectators on hand, could enjoy the many treats on offer, for a longer period of time.
The athletes competed fiercely, in the 300, 400, 80, 150, 200, 800, 100, 4×100 and 4×400 meters races and the vociferous spectators were thoroughly entertained.
When the final results were announced by Hon. Eric Evelyn, Green House had effectively toppled former champion house, Blue, to take championship honours this year.
Final Points:
Green Hose 352 points
Blue House 315 points
Red House 271 points
