McKay to defend NSC titles this weekend

Jan 30, 2013 Sports

 

 

The experienced Warren McKay will be going all out this weekend in defence of the two National Sports Commission (NSC) 11-race and Road Race titles he won last year.
Staged in observance of Mashramani, the 11-race programme will be held on Saturday at the Inner Circuit of the National Park, while the following day, the action switches to the West Demerara roadways for a 40-miler.
McKay won the feature 35-lap School Boys and Invitational race at last year’s 11-race programme in One Hour 22 Minutes 26 Seconds.
However, he will face stiff competition for the title on Saturday from the likes of Raynauth Jeffrey, who won the season opener Saturday last, Alonzo Greaves, Robin Persaud, Rastaff O’Selmo and Paul DeNobrega among others. Action commences at 09:00hrs.
Davenand Bissoon is the defending champion of the juveniles division, while Keith Fernandes and Richard Charles will look to keep a stranglehold on the Veterans Under-50 and Mountain Bike titles respectively.
Sunday’s 40-mile race will start at 09:00 hours at the western end of the Demerara Harbour Bridge; proceed to Bushy Park, Parika, before returning to the point of origin for the finish.
McKay won last year in a time of One Hour 44 Minutes 15 Seconds.
The talented Raul Leal is the man to beat in the Junior category, while the experienced Junior Niles is the defending champion of the Veterans race.
Both events are organised by National Coach, Hassan Mohamed MS.
