Sports Day summary.
We were supposed to leave at 10am. We got everyone except Oneil at 10. Ended up waiting on him. We left Spanish Town about 10:30. We had 16 people plus Nicole & I. We were in 2 vehicles, mine & Adrian's. We reached around 11. We prayed (sang couple songs in Spanish Town) and the ground rules were laid down. We went to the site. Heard no football was allowed. Oh well.
We started with Dandy Shandy where some interesting "sighting" (Akeame) was done but the "outs" were classic ( about 2). The ball was used to punishing effect. I especially remember Ronica vociferous anticipation of getting hit. That ended with the scores at 62 - 89.
We then had sprints. Richard was beaten by Rochelle in a match of the little ones.Then Akeame won against the reputed Wolmers' track star Adrian. Adrian was obviously unfit but Akeame still rubbed it in. Orane beat Troy but I think Troy got cut (never run on grass barefooted unless u sure about the surface). Janeze beat Ronica easily but then Janeze was the hot favourite as she can sprint so no surprise though. Bassonio beat Brandon despite Brandon being a Calabar student (oh well), boasting that he was doing it in restricting (aka tight) jeans. Jerdine beat Latoya as Jerdine is lighter & Latoya moved off slowly. Oneil beat Leevander in the battle of next door neighbours. The scores for Sprints were 55 - 50.
We had baseball next. The teams were unmatched with team 2 blowing out team 1 with a score of 10 - 2. Ronica got upset with Leevander for outing her despite an injury. Tempers flared but mercifully didn't get out of hand. There was some great displays of "athleticism" notably by Latoya during this event.
The Straw Relay was ok. No drama here as the group didn't see the event as worthwhile. Team 2 won this event. The score was 30 - 70.
What turned out to be the final event was the Sprint relays. In the 2 x 25m relay (female), using straws for batons, Janeze & Jerdine easily achieved victory despite Tanesha's & Latoya's best attempts to win. Interesting running styles by the way. The male pair of Troy & Oneil achieved victory over Bassanio & Orane despite dropping the batons TWICE. (lost points). The final event was the 4 x 25m relay. The team of Akeame, Oneil, Ronica & Latoya defeated the team of Adrian, Lee, Janeze & Jerdine in competitive race until team 1 dropped the baton on the anchor leg. The scores after the relays were 15-35.
In conclusion, hats off to Oneil for great leadership of his team. He did well & led by example. Lee was ok in his stewardship but he needs to involve his team more in his decisions. Plus lack of creativity was evident in some of his decisions.
Team 2 blew out Team 1 on sports day with a score of 254 - 164. This will go a far way in moving the deficit from where it was after the jeopardy quiz.
The group is still indisciplined, spoilt, immature & disrespectful to a degree but I see progress in a few areas so I'm still hanging on. Great day overall. Glad I went.
