ANDREW’S: The Carib sponsored St. Andrew’s Cricket League (SACL) held its annual prize-giving function on Saturday November 10, 2007.

Allen Walker, Parliamentary Representative for the area; Hon. Roland Bhola, Minister of Sports; Hon. Kenrick Fullerton; Dr. Rudy Webster, former West Indies team psychologist and head of the now dormant Cricket Academy at the St. George’s University; former Grenadian and Windward Islands cricketer, Steve Mahon; representatives from the Grenada Breweries Limited, among others. Dr. Rudy Webster delivered the keynote address at the prize-giving ceremony. The SACL has demonstrated over the years that it one of the most disciplined, professional and efficient organizations on the island. The league has been successfully planning and overseeing cricket competitions throughout St. Andrew’s for more than two decades. This year, approximately forty-six teams participated in the cricket tournament. The teams were divided into four divisions (A, B, C and D).
