THE National Sports Commission (NSC) of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, in collaboration with the Regional Democratic Council of Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) has, once again organised a successful Day of Interaction at Moruca in North West District, Region One (Barima/Waini).

A release said the journey to Moruca commenced from Georgetown to Parika by road at 09:00hrs on Saturday, May 31, then to Supenaam by river, on to Charity by road and then to Moruca by river, arriving at approximately 14:00hrs.
The visiting party, comprising Director of Sports, Mr. Neil Kumar and other officials from the National Sports Commission; Chairman of Region Two, Mr. Parmanand Persaud and officials from the Regional Administration were given a warm welcome as they moved around the community meeting residents, sensitising them to the purpose of the visit and encouraging their participation.
On Sunday, June 1, the community centre ground was alive with activities as residents converged there and participated in a number of sport disciplines, including football (male and female), volleyball (mixed), softball cricket (male and female) and dominoes (mixed).
Communities which took part included Paloma, Karaburi, Huridiah, Huradiah, Santa Rosa/Kumaka and Waramuri.
Sports in the communities seem to be well organised as all five female teams were smartly attired in colourful uniforms.

TREMENDOUS TALENT
The latter comprised girls as young as 13 years who possess and displayed tremendous talent and skill. With proper training, teams of the hinterland will match those in and around Georgetown.
It is, therefore, necessary and important for the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), in collaboration with the NSC to organise programmes, to reach those areas and assist in the development of football in the hinterland, the release said.
The Director of Sports and the Regional Chairman encouraged the residents, as well as participants and followers to continue using sports as an integral part of their entire development.
They also expressed thanks to all for accepting the call to participate in the Day of Interaction.
As a means of encouraging sports development in the various communities, sports gear and equipment were distributed and a call was made for the gear and equipment to be properly utilised for the benefit of all.
A presentation of sports gear and equipment was also made to the Headmaster of Moruca Secondary School, Mr. Martin Da Silva, and he promised that they will be properly used, remarking that it is a manifestation of encouraging the youth to be involved in physical education and sport, and academic achievements.
