Mar 09, 2013 Sports

 

As preparations continue for the Fourth Annual Desmond Dorsett Memorial Classic Road Race and Fun Day, a number of sponsors are getting on board. The activity which will be held on Sunday 24th March 2013, will be staged at the popular No53 Sports Complex and sponsored by the Dorsett family of Leeds, Corentyne Berbice.
A number of activities are listed for the day include athletics, softball cricket, volleyball, football, dominoes and a number of novelty events including egg and spoon, three legged race, sack race, needle and thread and Sal Pass among others, while a number of ring games are also expected to be a part of the day’s programme.
The athletics race, which will be held in three categories, is open to athletes from throughout Berbice. The categories are males and females open, U19 and U15. The senior and U19 athletes will cover a distance of five Km and will run from No 47 village, while the U15 and the female athletes will run from No 49 village. Both will culminate at the popular No 53 Sports Complex. Following the road race a fund day will be held at the No53 Sports Complex beginning at 10:00hrs.
A number of persons and business including overseas sponsors are already on board with sponsorship for the day’s activities. Attractive Prizes which will include cash incentives, trophies, T shirts, ribbons and other memorabilia will be presented to the winners and other outstanding performers, while certificates of appreciation and participation will be presented to all participants by the Dorsett family.  Proceeds from the day’s activities will be used to help fund and stock the Negla Ross Library at the No 53 Complex.
A native of East Canje, the late Superintendent Dorsett was an ardent sports fan who participated in numerous sporting activities during his tenure in the force. Dorsett migrated after retiring and would return with his family from time to time to do charity and community work.
His wife Waveney Dorsett is the coordinator of the activities. Interested persons can make contact with telephone numbers 339-4475, 665-7854, 339-4133 and 339-4626 for further information.  (Samuel Whyte)
