BRIDGETOWN – Bar­ba­dos Pride have fi­nal­ly got­ten their hands on the Headley/Weekes Tro­phy for cap­tur­ing this year’s Crick­et West In­dies first class tour­na­ment.

T&T's John­ny Hamil­ton was huge of­fen­sive­ly for Fener­bahce Beko on Sun­day, help­ing his team seal its third straight win this sea­son com­fort­ably tak­ing down Fethiye Belediye, 113-74 in the Bas­ket­ball Su­per League at the Ulk­er Sports Are­na in Turkey.

Jus­tice Car­ol Gob­in will on Tues­day de­liv­er a rul­ing on whether the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA), which is be­ing led by pres­i­dent William Wal­lace and his group of vice pres­i­dents Joseph Sam Phillip and Clynt Tay­lor, will be the le­git­i­mate man­agers of foot­ball in T&T. How­ev­er, it is un­like­ly to ease the pain of a FI­FA sus­pen­sion as well as a re­turn to the fold of the FI­FA mem­ber­ship for the TTFA.

Since the pre-elec­tion lies, al­leged forged let­ters and spu­ri­ous pledges from Unit­ed TTFA (T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion) as re­port­ed in the me­dia lo­cal and for­eign, I have watched with hor­ror, dis­may and con­cern how they have in fact dis­unit­ed the T&T foot­ball fra­ter­ni­ty by their naivety, lack of busi­ness acu­men and min­i­mal trans­paren­cy.

Por­tu­gal-based T&T vol­ley­baller, Marc-An­tho­ny Hon­ore and his SL Ben­fi­ca moved with­in a win of se­cur­ing a third straight Men’s Vol­ley­ball Su­per­taça Hon­da ti­tle af­ter they ral­lied past Sport­ing CP on Wednes­day.

T&T’s An­dre For­tune was a dou­ble win­ner when his North Car­oli­na Foot­ball Club an­nounced the win­ners of the 2020 NCFC Team Awards.

There seem to be more unan­swered ques­tions from FI­FA's rul­ing on Sep­tem­ber 24, a sit­u­a­tion that could po­ten­tial­ly call on the sport's world gov­ern­ing body for clar­i­ty.

This year's theme of UNICEF's In­ter­na­tion­al Day of the Girl- Oc­to­ber 11- is “My voice, our equal fu­ture”. Ac­cord­ing to UNICEF, the In­ter­na­tion­al Day of the Girl 2020 fo­cus was on three (3) key ar­eas:

For­mer West In­dies leg­endary fast bowler Curt­ly Am­brose says that T&T off-spin­ner Sunil Nar­ine can rise above his strug­gles in light of be­ing re­port­ed by In­di­an Pre­mier League (IPL) um­pires for a sus­pect bowl­ing ac­tion.

“Just look at what we can do when we come to­geth­er, this is Eng­land in 2020,” Mar­cus Rash­ford tweet­ed up­on the news that his cam­paign had borne fruit. A cam­paign that prompt­ed a Gov­ern­ment U-turn that will now al­low par­ents to re­ceive vouch­ers for 1.3 mil­lion kids in Eng­land over the sum­mer and with more to come.

Less than a month ago when Guardian Me­dia Sports re­port­ed that T&T’s mys­tery spin­ner Sunil Nar­ine will be twirling his mag­i­cal de­liv­er­ies for the Kolkata Knight Rid­ers (KKR) in the In­di­an Pre­mier League (IPL), a day be­fore it bowled off, the big news out of the IPL on Sat­ur­day, was not about the two match­es played but that Nar­ine was re­port­ed once again for sus­pect bowl­ing ac­tion af­ter the match against Kings XI Pun­jab in Abu Dhabi, Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates .
