AT A simple handing-over ceremony held yesterday morning at the Body Max Fitness Gym on Croal Street, physical trainer Ashton Boyle made a donation of an undisclosed amount to coordinator of the Inter-Ministry/Corporation football tournament Mark Young. The partnership was realised through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and  Sport’s ‘Fitness for Life’ policy and similar to Body Max Fitness Gym’s policy in creating an atmosphere and facility for the public to come and exercise for at least an hour daily to keep their bodies healthy.
Young, in receiving the donation, expressed thanks to the entity for partnering with the tournament which he hopes will see the players take up the opportunity to seek a healthier lifestyle.
In his brief remarks, Boyle expressed thanks for the opportunity to be a part of the sponsorship team for the tournament which forms part of the fitness for life programme in a similar exercising programme and wished all the teams still participating in the tournament more success.
