Full day of all sport

The first annual National Sportsmanship Day is officially tomorrow, but the celebration starts tonight with a limited overs cricket match at the National Stadium. From 7 p.m. the Richard Clarke XI will face the Winston Reid XI in 24 overs-a-side tapeball action.

Reid's team will be chosen from Mike Matthews, Ryan Nurse, Alvin Gibson, Dennis Yearwood, Orion Bostic, Goodwin Flatts, Zaheer Motara, Shirland Wharton, Wilbur Bruce, Anthony Stuart, Jeremy Alleyne, Jeffrey Hunte, Anthony Young and Thelston Payne.

Clarke's side includes Albert Auguste, Dwayne Smith, Leroy Leach, Derwin Thompson, Lonsdale Blake, Jason Clarke, Alphonso Lashley, Ali Odle, David Carrington, Don Marshall, Vibert Greene, Patterson Thompson and Patrick Gollop.

Between innings there will also be track and cycling events.

The focus shifts to the Wildey Gymnasium on Saturday where at 12:30 p.m. there will be shorter forms of indoor hockey, football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, road tennis, draughts, basketball and volleyball among others.

There will also be judo and karate demonstrations.

Around 5:30 p.m. there will be presentations by former Test umpire Lloyd Barker, football referee Mark Bob Forde, international netball referee Deborah Lynch-Theobalds and the members of the Anti-Doping Commission.

Minister of Sports Rudolph Cappy Greenidge will deliver a short address and there will be a prize for the person who epitomises good sportsmanship.

Erskine King, director of the National Sports Council, said they would like representatives from all ages from the various national associations.

They can compete in friendly rivalry, with honesty and decorum. They don't have to curse the officials, and don't cheat by using drugs. We can all feel good when teams go out there to represent us. They can give their best without people pointing their fingers at them, King said.
