The Camp which commenced on July 25 was the brainchild of Gilbert, a national junior coach, who told this newspaper that many of the participants were very eager to improve their skills, while some were attending such a programme for the first time and they too according to the coach displayed admirable discipline and understanding of the sport during the period.
Digicel’s Events and Sponsorship Manager Gavin Hope presented bag packs to all of the participants, while a number of them were also rewarded for their overall commitment to the stint.
Among those to be recognised were Tefor Daley-Best Overall Player; Steven Stanton- Most Improved Player; Keron Gomes- Most Disciplined Player; Jaleel Hamilton- Most Disciplined Player and Travis- Most Disciplined Player.
