Director of Sport Neil Kumar has given this Saturday’s inaugural staging of the Digicel-sponsored
Triple-Sports Fiesta event the ‘thumbs up’, pointing to it as a very good initiative that deserves support.
Speaking via telephone yesterday, the Director said it just shows the associations are working together and according to him, the fact that this is happening is commendable.
“I really appreciate the move that Digicel has made in organising the event and I hope it is a success which if it is could influence future support from Digicel,” Kumar stated.
He added that it is wish that other disciplines strive to duplicate the initiative so that the development of sports could continue.
Kumar even referred to a recent conversation he had with some officials shortly after the completion of the Independence Half-Marathon where a discussion on the possibility of hosting a triathlon (swimming, cycling and athletics) was held.
He informed that he is willing to meet with stakeholders sometime later to discuss the prospects of hosting such an event.
The disciplines to be played are hockey, netball and volleyball and all the host associations have consented to provide the best teams so that spectators could witness a high standard of play.
Starting time is 18:00 hrs.
Meanwhile, Kumar gave a brief insight of discussions held recently with the President of the Guyana Hockey Board Philip Fernandes and though he did not elaborate much about the talk, he said it centred on improving the flooring at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
According to the Director, Fernandes seemed upbeat about the idea, adding that they’ve consented to call in their consultants to have a better understanding of what is required, before taking a definitive position.
