The activity got
underway at about 10:30 am. The students both boys and girls expressed their
skills in bowling, batting and fielding. keeping scores each team's performance was former NYC
President, now teacher at the Reunion Combined was Jonathan Chalon.
Below is a statement by Mrs Athill on the purpose of this
activity." ..........Today
we are here at the Roblot Combined school, where we have a mini cricket
competition, taking place among three schools, namely Roblot Combined, Etangs Combined
and Reunion Primary. The competition is happening just around the time when
Scotia bank has organized its Kiddy Cricket Competition among Primary Schools
in St Lucia.
Right now Delcer and Piaye Combined are playing the
finals at the La Fargue Playing Field. So basically the three schools here
today are just showcasing their Kiddy Cricket Skills and what they learnt
during the physical education classes. It's a friendly competition and most of
the kids from the grade 6 classes. As
you may know, they are just finished writing their common entrance
examinations, so as the PE teacher of Roblot Combined and Reunion Primary, I
thought of organizing to keep them occupied. Etangs Combined just came onboard
under the supervision of Mr Jonathan Chalon.
It's an opportunity for the children interact
with each other, to socialize and have fun and this is just what they are
doing."
The program is useful as it is at this level that the potential top class cricketer are identified and
nurtured. As a former National Cricket player I closely observed the kids during this activity and was able to
discover two boys and a girl with exceptional talent. It will be interesting to
see how the program take these kids to a higher level.
