 Young netballers from around the island got a chance to showcase their skills as the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports stage a netball fiesta at the VG Malipurpa Sports Complex at the weekend. The participants had an extended period of preparation and were keen to display their skills. Today's initiative is to help bring and develop the sport of netball within the various communities around St. Lucia. Today we are participating communities for Sejaq, Soufre, Derriso, Canaries, Blusher and Central castries and around castries. My team is coming from Fort Sejaq. We have three teams, two senior teams and a junior under 14 team. Our team has been training from September. We've been working really hard. We came today to have fun and enjoy ourselves. So far we've been doing well. Our coach isn't too hard on us since we came to have fun and enjoy the experience. We have been training really hard and our coach has been talking about this tournament for who knows how long and so far I think I have been doing pretty good. My team has been doing pretty good and although we might not win, we came here to have fun. Director of Sports, James Xavier commanded the young netballers for their enthusiasm and level of interest displayed. What we are experiencing here at the VG Sports Complex is the showcasing of the talent of the young netballers who have been training over the last few weeks. This is a collaboration between Netball St. Lucia, the National Authorities and the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports. As you are aware, there are a number of netball coaches within the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports and they have been collaborating with the Netball Association and the National Authorities to train those young Christians. And since we've not been able to have a competitive netball competition as such, they are basically showing the talent and we are assessing and examining how much work has been done to determine how much work that we have to do in the future. So this is what we are experiencing here this afternoon. A combined team made up of players from the Castries Basin emerge as winners of the festival. From the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, I'm Ryan O'Brien.
