T&T star striker and former Sunderland midfielder Dwight Yorke has re-entered the football fray in an attempt to help the Trinidad and Tobago team qualify for the 2010 World Cup. The midfielder has been added to the T&T squad for the upcoming qualifier with Cuba next month. The 36 year old Yorke met recently with T&T Football Federation and FIFA vice president Jack Warner to offer his services who was only too happy to oblige.

In what is being described in Cayman as a momentous occasion in their history, Cayman will go on to represent NAWIRA (North America West Indies Rugby Association) at the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy next year after an emphatic 22-3 win over the Mexican squad. The teams had been competing in the recently concluded Caribbean Under 19 Championship final on Saturday and it was the first time that either team had reached the final. Cayman had to get through Guyana, Mexico and defending champions Jamaica .

Even though Mexico had the better start with Christian Hennings kicking a penalty in the first minute, Cayman responded with vigour through their forwards Daniel McGrath and Gulliame Hammersley. The pair helped to make it 7-3 at the half. After that Cayman did not look back. They dominated much of the match with fly half Joel Clarke pinning Mexico in their own 22. Scrum half Michael Wilson scored his side’s second try to make it 17-3. Taron Forbes sealed the deal to secure Cayman’s place in an IRB international 15 a side tournament for the first time.

It seems there is no stopping him this year as Usain Bolt stamped his authority on the 200M at the recent Athens Grand Prix when he won the event in a world leading 19.67s. Running with a 0.5m/s tail wind, Bolt finished a half a second ahead of his nearest rival, Antiguan Brendan Christian who was second in 20.36. Zimbabwe’s Brian Dzingai was third in 20.45s.

“I am very satisfied with my performance,” Bolt said after his win.

“The crowd helped me a lot. I feel sure I will be very strong at the Olympic Games,” added the 21-year-old.

200m - Usain Bolt - 19.67s

Just when everyone thought he was back and raring to go, Asafa Powell is yet again sporting another injury prior to the Olympics. Powell pulled out of his heat at the IAAF Golden League meet after experiencing a groin cramp coming out of the blocks. He managed to limp across the line in 10.19s to finish fifth in the heat but passed on sprinting in the final. His team mates Nesta Carter and Michael Frater, however, are featured in the final.

Jamaica’s Dexter Lee continued the trend of excellence in the Jamaican track and field program when he mined a gold in the 100M at the 12th IAAF World Junior Championships. Lee is only the third Jamaican male to do so, Michael McDonald and Usain Bolt being the others. Lee won in 10.40s with South African Wilhelm van der Vyver second and world leader Terrell Wilks of the United States rounding out the top three.

“The conditions were not in our favour, but I just went out there and did my best said Lee. Lee recovered from a bad first round heat from which he advanced as one of the fastest losers to reach the final. I just went out there, stayed relaxed and executed well because I knew I could win commented Lee.
