National Senior Championships washed Out

THE Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) National Senior Championships, which was set to run off yesterday at the Enmore Community Centre Ground, has now been tentatively set for next week Saturday February 8, after a water soaked outfiled made staging the event impossible.“The ground is under water and we cannot get to complete the marking of the ground, we had even tried on Saturday but we couldn’t. And other than damage to the ground we have to look at the safety of the athletes, so we called it off.

“We’ve already notified the coaches and their athletes,” Aubrey Hutson, President of the AAG, explained when contacted yesterday.

According to Hutson, he is eyeing the weather forecast with a cautious eye and next Saturday seems most favourable, as the following Sunday promises more showers. Hutson called yesterday’s cancellation a “set back” to the AAG’s well packed calendar of events.

“I’m looking at the forecast and more likely than not it will be next Saturday, because I’m looking at Sunday and there may be some rain on Sunday. This is a real set back today, but that is what happens when you don’t have an all weather facility,” Hutson relayed.
