The groups that participated were from the respective areas: Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke/Timehri, Grove, Golden Grove/Diamond, Mocha, Agricola, Albouystown, Central Georgetown, Tiger Bay and Alberttown/North Sophia.
The opening day witnessed athletes participating in Long Jump, Javelin, Shot Putt and Discuss in the Under-12, U-14 and U-16 categories for male and female. After the first day of competition it was Mocha in the lead with 144 points, Central Georgetown second on 137 points, and Agricola third on 127 points.
The track competition began with a very colourful march-past. The battle was between the top three groups as everyone tried their best to maneuver their athletes competitively in the 43-event programme for the day.
All the other groups received $10,000 each compliments of Commander of ‘A’ Division, Clifton Hicken. Banks DIH through its Aqua Brand Manager, Errol Nelson provided refreshment for the athletes and officials over the two days period.
The objective was to enhance the various talents of the youths, having them actively engaged in activities that reduce their vulnerability to crime, thus fostering what is hoped to be better police-community partnership.
