– PRAISES SPORTS OFFICER MUNROE

Students currently participating in the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport (MCYS) / National Sports Commission (NSC), Al Sport & Tour Promotions Annual Primary Schools Windball Cricket Championships got a surprise visit from Director of Sport Neil Kumar, who turned up at the National Park on Tuesday to witness the day’s competition.
Kumar, shortly before addressing the students praised the work being done by NSC Sports Officer Allister Munroe in helping to spread the sport across the country, adding that he has been very impressed with what he has been reading in the daily newspapers.
Kumar in his remarks to the players urged them to dedicate their energies towards improving their skills and even reminded them that Windball cricket is just the starting point to a career in a sport that has lucrative returns for those who would like to move on to the next level.
He said it’s good that the students are being exposed to all the rules governing ICC Cricket, adding that it will assist in helping them to understand the rules that govern the sport internationally.
“Use this tournament to keep fit which will help you with your studies. You can be a cricketer as you get older, an Administrator, Coach or a very good Sports Officer like Mr. Munroe, who has been doing an excellence job,” Kumar advised.
The Director also took the opportunity to wish all the students present who wrote the SSEE all the best, adding that he is confident that they will all be pleased with the schools they get in a few days time.
