The Royal BVI Youth Sailing Programme was delighted to accept a donation from the Charter Yacht Society (CYS) this week.

Sailors were joined by Janet Oliver, Executive Director of the CYS after their training session to receive a donation from the 2015 Charter Yacht Show.  Oliver explained to the sailors that $10 from the registration fee from each yacht and broker is donated to BVI Youth Sailing. With approximately 75 yachts in attendance and over 130 brokers in 2015, this donation is a valuable contribution to the programme.

“The CYS is delighted to make this donation to the BVI Youth Sailing Programme.  It is a natural fit for us to invest in young sailors and help nurture youth sailing in the BVI.” commented Oliver,

“Many of the crews working on the CYS boats began their sailing in similar programmes – for them it was an important part of growing up and now it is their livelihood.  I have no doubt that in the future we will see many of the young sailors training here with the Yacht Club making headlines or working in the industry.”

Thank you to the CYS from all at the Royal BVI Yacht Club and Youth Sailing Programme.

The team, consisting of Five Makos/BVI Swim Federation swimmers, won 9 Gold, 12 Silver and 3 Bronze medals.

Top swimmer for team BVI was eight year-old Khadija Sampson, who won six gold medals in all of her individual events, and won the high point award for her age group with a perfect score of 120 points. She was also member of 12 and under relay teams that won of the gold and silver for team BVI.

Competing for team BVI were Keyon Sampson, Khadija, Kassia Nichols, Kurt Salapare and Arrianna Angus.

Coach Elsworth Phillip said he was happy with the way the swimmers performed at the two-day event, held annually in St. Croix.
He said this was the first time that the swimmers competed in a long course pool (50 meters) and they had great swims and established many personal best in their individual and relay events.

“I would like to thank the management of Prospect Reef for allowing our team to have a place to train; all that these kids achieve wouldn’t be possible without them providing a place for the kids to train,” Phillip said.

Four islands were represented at the meet – St. Croix Dolphins, St. Eustatius Super Splash Swim Team, St. Maarten Stingrays and the British Virgin Islands Makos Swim Club.

Other notable swimmers were Keon Sampson who won 2nd place high point honors in the 13 to 14 boys age group.

Road Town F.C rang the changes and ran out 5-0 victors over West End Tigers F.C. on Saturday May 28, 2016 on the field at the A.O. Shirley Recreation Grounds and with the win lifted the BVI Football Association (BVIFA) Youth Championship.

Their total dominance especially in the second half was down to some tactical changes from Coach “Left” and clinical finishing from Amazon.com Man of the Match Sheldon Harry, who notched a hat trick.

“I think the changes worked,” commented the Coach. “We went from a 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 and the guys played much better than in the previous games. Our big defender, Liam Blok, kept things tight at the back, which gave us the chance to stop them and build our own attacks consistently.”

Harry netted in the 44th, 68th and 75th minutes after Novar Garden had scored the early opener for Road Town and Blok had doubled the lead in the 19th minute.

West End, playing far below their potential, saw a penalty chance saved, but whilst creating some opportunities never looked like denting the Road Town march to the championship.

Their title was confirmed when North Sound F.C. failed to get the result they needed against The Valley F.C in the day’s second game.

Knowing a win would see them take the title back to Virgin Gorda, North Sound started brightly, but had their hopes dented, when, in the 10th minute Kemron Tillack fired home for the Valley after a lightning fast counter attack.

Talisman striker, Jahdique Winchester, brought his team back into the game with a 25th minute leveler, but in the second half Kyreek Gardener netted a 70th minute winner for the Valley, to secure all 3 points.

“They played very well,” commented Coach Timron Robinson. “They passed the ball well, supported each other and of course scored the goals that matter. I’m very proud of the whole squad and there is much more to come from this team.”

With the League Championship decided attention turns to the Knock Out Cup, which takes place on Sunday June 5, 2016 on the A.O. Shirley Recreation Grounds.

At 1pm, Road Town F.C. take on the Valley F.C. followed by, at 2.30pm, West End Tigers playing against North Sound F.C.

Led by their Jr. Girls 4 x 400m Relay quartet, Sprint Tech Track Club athletes demolished two Jr. relay records during Saturday’s 41st Flo Golden South Classic in Claremont, Fla., as several athletes also recorded personal bests marks.

The foursome of Judine Lacey, Beyonce DeFreitas, Tarika “Tinker Bell” Moses and Lakeisha “Mimi” Warner, shattered the year-old Classic Division Girls 4 x 400m Relay meet record of 3 minutes 45.92 seconds, with a break away time of 3:41.36. The mark also smashed the eight year-old BVI National Jr. Girls Record of 3:42.73, established by Samantha John, Ashley Kelly, Britney Wattley and Chantel Malone. It’s the second best time on the territory’s All Time List.

That mark came after the quartet of Zacharia Frett, DeFreitas, L’T’Sha Fahie and Warner, finished third in the Classic Girls 4 x 100m Relay in 45.78 seconds, to break the two-year old National Jr. Record of 46.30 seconds, becoming the territory’s ninth squad overall and the first Jr. team to run under 46.00.

The Sprint Tech boys-Rackeel Jack, K’Cei Moses, Valique Graham and Josh Hill-were second in their heat of the Classic Boys 4 x 400m Relay in 3:26.39-the sixth best time of the meet.

In individual events, Warner was the class of the 400m Hurdles field running 59.59 in the prelims and 59.79 to win the Classic Girls final as the only runner under 60 seconds.

After a third place finish in the Classic Girls Long Jump with a 5.76m leap, Fast Lane’s Kala Penn topped the pile in the Triple Jump with a mark of 12.11m on her second attempt, as she put together her most consistent series and had a back up 12.04m mark on her final effort. Sprint Tech’s Arianna Hayde finished 18th with a 4.96m Long Jump effort. She didn’t have a clearance in the High Jump.

L’T’Sha Fahie ran 11.86 seconds to advance to the Classic Girls 100m final where she finished fifth in 12.07.  DeFreitas had a non advancing 12.17 in her heat. In the Boys equivalent, Rikkoi Bratwaithe ran 10.88 seconds to make the final and was sixth in 10.97.

Moses was third in the Girls 200m final with time of 24.27 seconds after running 24.37 for second in the prelims. Frett had a non advancing time of 24.96. K’Cei Moses finished in 22.37 seconds but did not advance to the Boys final.

Lacey ran 56.99 seconds in second to grab and automatic spot in the Classic Girls 400m final where she was fourth in 56.63. Virgin Gorda’s Raw Skillz Track Club’s Shaniyah Caul was also a finalist after running 58.10 and placed eight in the final with 1:00.05.

Fast Lane’s Ronique Todman used a 400m personal best of 48.30 seconds to qualify for the Classic Boys final, where he was fifth in 48.69.

In the Prep Division, Sprint Tech’s Naya Penn won her 100m heat in 13.33 seconds. Fast Lane’s Johnt’a Charles used an 11.25 seconds lifetime best to win the Prep Boys 100m.

Sprint Tech’s Sh’Kaida Lavacia had a career best of effort of 59.37 seconds in the 400m to place third in her heat ahead of teammate Akrisa Eristee’s best effort of 59.49, as they finished fourth and fifth overall respectively.

Hill broke 50.00 seconds for the first time in his history by running 49.55 for second in his heat, the division’s fifth fastest time. Graham recorded a 52.49 time for seventh in his section while Jevon Smith ran 54.10 and Vadley Sylvester finished in 59.87.

Sprint Tech’s Alisha Hayde used her fastest ever run of 2 minutes, 30.76 seconds to finish sixth in the 800m, while Raw Skill’s Mariah Christian was 11th after recording a career best of 2:32.02.

Raw Skill’s Deron Leslie was second in his 800m section with a personal best run of 2:09.76.

Charles ran 22.48 seconds to win his 200m heat. Penn’s 27.15 seconds was good for second in her section of the 200m while teammate Shenique Erickson, was timed in 29.37 seconds in the 200m, placing fifth in her heat.

The Women’s Committee of the BVI Football Association pulled off a day of fun filled football action to celebrate CONCACAF World Women’s Day on Saturday, May 21 at the A.O. Shirley Ground.

Almost 50 girls of various ages and abilities turned out for the celebration, including a large group from Virgin Gorda. All were put through dribbling and shooting drills and were given the opportunity to win prizes with their new found skills.

3 v 3 and 5 v 5 games also took place with the older groups and the whole day was a great testament to the development and continued success of women’s football in the territory and around the region.

BVIFA President, Andy Bickerton was on hand to present the awards. “All 41 countries within CONCACAF had a women’s day and the BVIFA has always supported Women’s Football,” said Bickerton.  “We at the BVIFA are very pleased with the turn out at the A.O. Shirley Ground today with the 4 age groups: U7’s, U9’s, U15’s as well as Open and especially to see those 5 – 6 year olds out there enjoying themselves was wonderful.”

Bickerton also noted that the world governing body, FIFA  has just appointed a female General Secretary showing their commitment to increasing women’s involvement in the sport. CONCACAF elected a female representative to a FIFA Committee in Sonya Bien-Aime and in fact, since Bickerton became president, the BVIFA has placed the development of the women’s game high on the agenda.

Sharlene Pond, who heads up the new Women’s Committee at the BVIFA said, “we had similar numbers today, as last year, but we also saw a good many new faces who will be new players to the game. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and some wanted to carry on playing even after we had the awards ceremony!”

Gumbs Sisters End Jr. College Career With All America Honors

Twin sisters and Central Arizona College sophomores Tynelle and Trevia Gumbs, ended their Jr. College career by grabbing All America honors during the National Jr. Colleges Athletics Association Championships in Levelland, Texas.

After Tynelle fouled out in the Hammer Throw where she was ranked No.2 in the event, Trevia used a personal best of 49.51m to place fourth and collected the first of her three All America honors, including the Discus Throw and Shot put.

Tynelle bounced back from her hammer throw foul troubles and placed second in the Discus after a 46.98m effort as Trevia placed sixth with 43.47m and both secured All America.

“I was extremely happy even though I did not go over 50m as I wanted too,” said Tynelle, who has a 47.76 best, adding that she couldn’t find her rhythm in the Hammer Throw. “I’m happy I was able to pull out second place.”

Tynelle placed fourth in the Javelin Throw with a 40.05m effort and Trevia had a season’s best of 14.50m in the Shot Put, good for sixth place.

“I was excited for her because she did better than a lot of girls who were ranked higher than her,” Tynelle said of Trevia. “I was so proud.”

Although they could end up at different schools in the fall, Tynelle said she enjoyed having her twin in Arizona. “It’s always great having my sister there,” she stated. “She’s my biggest motivation and she’s a great competitor too.”

Trevia, who has a 14.83m best, struggled mightily in the Shot Put this season, before throwing over 14.00m for the first time all year in the championships. “I had a season’s best in the Shot and a personal best in the Hammer, but I know there’s way more room for further throws,” she said. “This year has been very rough in the Shot for me. I started getting back in the swing of things two weeks ago and I’m getting back up there with my marks and I know I have a lot left this season.”

Trevia was satisfied with her Hammer Throw personal best. “I know I had a lot more there,” she said. “But, I was content in getting the points for my team and making the finals.”

With their Jr. College career over and not sure they will be at the same school come September, which “would be nice but if we have to go different places that’s fine,” says Tynelle, they’re now turning their attention to regional competitions.

The soon to be 20-year olds, will compete at the July 2-3 OECS Championships on home soil before heading to El Salvador for the July 15-17, NACAC U23 Championships.

“We’re definitely excited for both competitions,” Tynelle said. “We’re not only looking to make the finals, but medaling, especially at NACAC.”

At the same competition held at her school, Taylor Hill helped South Plains College to a 4x100m Relay victory in 45.61 seconds, to earn All America honors, after recording non-advancing times of 12.03 and 25.10 seconds respectively, in the sprints.

Elsewhere, Eldred Henry recorded season’s best of 19.33m in the Shot Put and 55.80m in the Discus Throw, at the Tucson Elite Invitational in Tucson, Arizona.

Wins for Sugar Boys & Wolues as Wendoll Williams Cup kicks off

The Wendoll Williams Cup got off in fine style on Sunday May 22, 2016 with a win for the defending Champions, Sugar Boys F.C. and Wolues F.C.

Both games took place in front of a sizeable crowd on the A.O. Shirley Recreation Grounds in Road Town and after a ceremonial presentation line to greet the players and Referees by D’Avian Williams, Nadege Williams, daughters of the late Wendoll Williams, BVIFA President Andy Bickerton, Asst Secretary- Operations Avanell Morton, and Vice President of the BVIFA Aubrey Liburd.

Sugar Boys overcome spirited Haitian Stars

The Sugar Boys were given an early gift for the opening goal when inexplicably Haitian Stars defender James Felix handled the ball in the penalty box from a corner.

Leonard Davis made no mistake with his spot kick and Derol Redhead soon doubled the advantage to seemingly give the Sugar Boys a comfortable ride into the second round.

However, Andre Thomas pulled one back for the Stars in the 31st minute and then Omar Plitol grabbed an equalizer in the 64th minute to give the defending champions cause for concern.

Not willing to relinquish their title just yet, though, the Boys from VG responded with three quick fire goals from Andres Bailey in the 67th minute, Shawn Jacob in the 71st and Terrance Nanton in the 79th to make the final score 5-2.

Wolues progress to semi finals

Alessandro Pallandino scored a wonder goal in the 9th minute to open the scoring for the Wolues, cushioning the ball with his left foot and then curling the ball past the Ols Madrid goal keeper from 18 yards out with his right foot.

Leo Forte put the Wolues 2-0 up in the 76th minute, before Bernard Grant fired home for Old Madrid after Andre Gaymes had saved the initial effort from Kenmore Peters, who slipped as he took his shot from the spot.

However, there would be no more scoring and the Wolues progressed into the semi finals.

This Sunday VG United face Panthers F.C. at 5.15pm, whilst Islanders F.C. take on One Love at 7.00pm.

Melissa Brunner and Reuben Stoby closed the Blenheim Trust 5K Series with victories on Saturday. The race started and ended at the A. O. Shirley Grounds.

“It felt amazing and it was a personal record,” Brunner said of her 22 minutes and 10 seconds run. “The training was pretty hard all season and I think the big race in Virgin Gorda last weekend just sort of primed me up for this one. But I was quite shocked when I passed Rose (Johnson) I thought for sure she was going to be on my tail right at the end. Took a few looks back coming down the home stretch and she wasn’t there so I sprinted the last bit just to get my personal best, so I worked out. So, I’m quite pleased.”

Stoby led the field of 41 participants in 18:42 and said he wanted to run sub 17:00. “There was a strong headwind, but definitely after the first mile, I realized Virgin Gorda (Half Marathon) was still in my legs, so I just decided not to push it any harder. And then I was missing Vincent (Fournier). Maye if he was here, he would have been able to pull me through.”

Stoby said he was happy to come out on top to end a tough season where he had his wins and losses.

“It’s always good to end on a winning note and I look forward to what’s to come in the 10K Series,” he said. “It was a good race. The conditions were a bit hot and the sun was out, but I was able to push it through and win fairly easily in the end.”

Final Results: Men. 1. Reuben Stoby, 18 minutes and 42.1 seconds.  2. Julius Farley, 19:11.3.  3. Guy Williamson, 19:43.5. 4. Derek Pettigrew, 20:27.2.  5. Zebalon Mclean, 21:41.5.  6.

North Sound go top BVIFA Youth League

As the BVI Football Association (BVIFA) continued its Youth League on Saturday May 21, 2016 at the A.O. Shirley Recreation Grounds, Road Town were held to a 1-1 draw with Valley F.C. and North Sound grabbed a 1-0 win over West End Tigers.

Road Town, one of the stronger of the teams on paper, controlled the early exchanges, but were unable to convert that dominance into goals and at half time it was 0-0.

Valley came out in the second half, with renewed energy and confidence, taking the game to Road Town and also taking the lead through Kemron Tillack in the 65th minute.

Road Town, had introduced Phillip Jules at half time and his probing runs, along with the moving up front of Sheldon Harry Junior, soon had Valley back peddling to hold onto their slender lead.

Chances went begging for Road Town, but the equaliser when it came in the 71st minute was spectacular.

Jules won a corner on the left and taking it himself, saw his curling cross come shot elude the despairing dive of Joshua Ramprashad in goal to nestle in the top right corner.

North Sound hand West End Tigers first loss

The second game of the day saw an inspired performance from North Sound as they overcame the previously unbeaten West End Tigers.

The predatory Jahdique Winchester slotted home the only goal of the game early in the second half and the boys and girls from VG then comfortably dealt with any threat of an equaliser to claim all 3 points.

“I’m very pleased and happy with the win,” commented Richie Morton, the North Sound Coach. “We took our time to build into the game as we were seeing how they would play. Once we reshaped to counter their tactics we took control and scored the important goal.”

Morton also noted that Winchester had a lot of skill and has a habit of going quiet, but popping up in the right place at the right time to score important goals.

The two Men of the Match awards, which is a gift certificate from Amazon.com, went to Mikel Morain of North Sound F.C. for a superb defensive performance and Michael Woodley from Valley F.C.
