The loud drone of vu­vuze­las and the rhyth­mic chants of “T-T-O” pro­vid­ed a deaf­en­ing back­drop at the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies Sport and Phys­i­cal Ed­u­ca­tion Cen­tre (UWIS­PEC) in St Au­gus­tine, yes­ter­day, as T&T’s Un­der-16 net­ballers opened the 22nd Jean Pierre Caribbean Youth Net­ball Tour­na­ment with a com­fort­able 41-8 de­mo­li­tion of the Cay­man Is­lands.

The project will be im­ple­ment­ed in phas­es be­tween 2026 and 2030, and will see the re­de­vel­op­ment of the 20-acre cam­pus in Coolidge now sole­ly owned by CWI, to cre­ate a ful­ly in­te­grat­ed ecosys­tem for elite crick­et de­vel­op­ment, sports sci­ence, ed­u­ca­tion, and com­mer­cial ac­tiv­i­ty.

There was no ti­tle for T&T’s Kale Dal­la Cos­ta or his part­ner, Nico­las Moravec of the Czech Re­pub­lic, Sat­urday (April 11).

There were mixed re­sults for T&T play­ers on the open­ing day of the COTECC G3 Trin­i­ty Cup 2026 Ten­nis Tour­na­ment at the Na­tion­al Rac­quet Cen­tre in Or­ange Grove, Tacarigua, Sat­ur­day (April 11).

Bren­dan Boodoo struck a com­posed un­beat­en cen­tu­ry to guide Scar­let Blaz­ers to a 60-run vic­to­ry over Cocrico War­riors and se­cure the FI­AL Trinidad and To­ba­go Crick­et Board (TTCB) Un­der-19 Cup at the Na­tion­al Crick­et Cen­tre in Bal­main, Cou­va, on Fri­day.

I quote my­self from a pre­vi­ous ar­ti­cle ("The em­per­or has no clothes"), "The As­so­ci­a­tion has con­sis­tent­ly bet all its mar­bles on an in­ter­na­tion­al break­through to daz­zle the pub­lic and mask the mul­ti­tude of sins of com­mis­sion and omis­sion on the do­mes­tic front." I re­fer to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion, of course, and de­spite its chron­ic fail­ure it has one last mar­ble to bet on 17 April when our se­nior women face El Sal­vador at home in World Cup qual­i­fy­ing. A place in the 2026 CON­CA­CAF W Cham­pi­onship, the qual­i­fy­ing tour­na­ment for the 2027 FI­FA Women's World Cup, will be on the line. The equa­tion be­fore us is sim­ple. We must win; for El Sal­vador a draw will suf­fice. There could be no more dra­mat­ic script. The Cen­tral Amer­i­cans have demon­strat­ed clear su­pe­ri­or­i­ty against our women in re­cent years, win­ning four of the last five en­coun­ters. So, a lot is at stake po­lit­i­cal­ly for TTFA, ca­reer-wise for the play­ers and staff, and emo­tion­al­ly for the coun­try, which no longer ex­pects vic­to­ries but which al­ways hopes for pos­i­tive re­sults.

Shawn Pouchet, Pres­i­dent of the Aquat­ics Sports As­so­ci­a­tion of T&T (ASATT), says they will be en­gag­ing di­rect­ly with the swim­mers who were part of the Carif­ta Aquat­ics team to see what can help to help them de­vel­op fur­ther.

MI­A­MI, USA – The Caribbean will have a pow­er­ful pres­ence on the pitch this sum­mer, as two of the re­gion’s finest of­fi­cials have been se­lect­ed to work the 2026 FI­FA World Cup.

There are dark clouds in the sky, but it is just af­ter 7am on an East­er Sun­day morn­ing in Trinidad and To­ba­go.
