Archibald of GC Foster was winning the title for the second straight year, topping a field of 93 runners in 16 minutes, 40.86 seconds.

“It was a good run coming off the Christmas holiday where I didn’t do any training,” said Archibald whose time was much slower than the 14:42.47 he did last time here to deny Kirk Brown of a fourth title in succession. “It was a bit hectic because my body didn’t condition for it, so I feel a little chest burn. But it was a good run.”

The Jamaican-born former New York Liberty and Seattle Storm player was in the island recently to conduct a few businesses, include stopping by the FFP headquarters in Spanish Town, St Catherine.

Among the items donated were paint, tiles, kiddies furniture, two-burner gas stoves, pencils, folding tables and folding chairs.

An increase in the prize purse as well as a massive jump in participation were among the main highlights at the 2018/19 media launch of the INSPORTS National Primary School Football and Netball competitions.

Uriel Meghie marshalled his troops to overcome St Mary High 2-0 in their two-legged second round tie to find themselves in elite company. In their group they'll face two former champions in St James High and Clarendon College, the latter beaten in last year's and reigning Ben Francis Cup champions, and Manchester High who have been perennial contenders in recent years.

The victory achieved on the school’s ground was significant for more than one reason, as the senior team were advancing to the second round of the competition for the first time in four years. It was also the first time in many moons that the team reached this stage unbeaten, with yesterday’s victory seeing them ending the first round with four wins and four drawn results.

Rain came to the rescue of the Windies, who qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 after defeating defending champions Scotland by five runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method in a Super Six fixture of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2018 at the Harare Sports Club on Wednesday.

Scotland, chasing 199 for a place in the World Cup, to be staged from 30 May to 14 July, were 125 for five in 35.2 overs when a heavy downpour prevented further play in the match. When play was called off, Scotland needed 74 runs in just over 14 overs

Top striker Tajay Baker scored five times in Old Harbour Bay’s impressive 6-0 romp over Moores in the latest round of matches in the Charley’s JB Rum Super League on the weekend.

Schoolboy Saqlain Waul got the other goal for the home side, as Old Harbour Bay moved up to third in the overall points table, while Moores were suffering their ninth defeat of the season to remain rooted at the bottom. Given the stark contrast and the gulf in class, it was an expected result that perhaps only the visitors were not anticipating.

The date January 30, 2018 will forever be etched in the annals of Marlie Mount Primary School after winning its first ever major national sporting title.
