Dear Editor,
I never cease to be amazed at the rank injustice which attends certain aspects of national life. I am speaking specifically of last weekend March 29-30 trials for selection to the Junior CARIFTA Games scheduled for the Easter weekend in Guadeloupe.
The trials were held at the Police Sports Club Ground with several youth clubs participating. The Broad Jump event on Saturday was won by Jabari Joseph of the Police Youth Club.
On Sunday, he competed in the High Jump event and won. To my utter disbelief, I was confronted with the announcement in the media that Kade Pearce who placed second in the High Jump was selected to represent Guyana in that event at the Games.
Editor, if that is not rank favouritism, can somebody please tell me? I think that the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport should investigate this matter in the interest of fair play.
We need to send the message to our youth that they will be rewarded only through their best efforts and not as a result of any back room deals.
Name and address withheld
Listen to the man that is throwing Guyanese bright future away
