“[…] We were already behind before Covid-19 hit; how far off the pace would we be when and if football, or sports on a whole, is ever reopened? “Players and coaches alike are all feeling left out as we hear at every press conference news of sectors being opened or …

For a brief moment, it looked like the umpiring, less than stellar throughout this year’s CPL played entirely at Warner Park in St Kitts and Nevis, would steal Man-of-the-Match Dominic Drakes’ thunder. But, in the end, justice was done. Mere moments after the 23-year-old left-handed son of former West Indies …

Former Trinidad and Tobago Women’s National Senior Team captain Maylee Attin-Johnson looks set to return to competitive international football, after she was named in head coach James Thomas’ 20-member training squad today. Attin-Johnson, who is based in the United States, was one of the Women Soca Warriors’ most recognisable faces …

The Trinidad and Tobago Men’s National Senior Team players are still owed match fees and bonuses for their Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying games in June, despite a promise by the Robert Hadad-led normalisation committee to clear the overdue debt last Friday. And the mood of the Soca Warriors was …

For a selector, concussion is an occupational hazard. All the more, as Ken ‘Jaiks’ Jaikaransingh has already noted above, if you are a West Indian selector. Let me remind you of a truth every Trini sports fan knows: in T&T for certain, probably in the West Indies as a whole, …

It was not even close. A no-contest. Shimron Hetmyer thumped a hat-trick of sixes in the final over to add substance to what would otherwise have been a very undaunting Guyana Amazon Warriors final score. And although it allowed Nicholas Pooran’s soldiers to troop off Warner Park in St Kitts …

A spot of brainlessness on Tuesday saw Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago Knight Riders surrender the CPL title in the first semi-final at Warner Park in St Kitts and Nevis. But there was no inkling of that in the TKR skipper’s post-match, post-defeat interview. He praised his team, singling out World Cup-bound …

Glory glory! It was a good weekend for Fantasy Football players who recognise a goal machine when they see one. The Portuguese life-like ‘Ken doll’ returned to Old Trafford with a double in a 4-1 win that settled the debate as to what the Manchester United squad needs to win …

They left it late. But in the end, Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago Knight Riders reversed the result of Saturday evening’s match-up against Dwayne Bravo’s St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and finished on top of the 2021 CPL group stage table. The four-wicket victory they carved out at Warner Park in St …

West Indies lead selector Roger Harper is pleased with his and his selection panel’s handiwork. Good for him. Not I. “I expect the team to do very well,” he confidently declared during the media conference called to defend his and his fellow selectors’ work on Thursday. “I think we have …

An unexpected result in the morning encounter has spawned uncertainty about just who will be the four teams making it into the Tuesday’s semi-finals. Dwayne Bravo’s St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are safely in as most likely are Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago Knight Riders, who face off in the last of …

“[…] We are also in full agreement with Sir Andy Roberts’ expressed disgust at the appalling treatment the selectors have meted out to Jason Holder. Not only has he been omitted from the final 15 but, adding insult to injury, he was named by as one of the four reserves.  …
