The National team will participate in the Leeward Islands Cricket Tournament - slated to begin on May 28. Speaking during a presentation ceremony and cocktail last night at Paradise Cove Resort, President of the Anguilla Cricket Association Mr Gerard Gumbs underscored the importance of the development of society through sports. "I am proud to say that as local Anguillians, they have seen the need to contribute further to the development of the Anguillian society by contributing wholeheartedly to the sponsorship of the uniform for the local Cricket Team. These guys are truly Anguillians at heart who believe they can make a difference in helping to nurture a good society through their contribution to the sport of Cricket. Let us not underestimate the value that playing sports has on the lives of our people, especially our young people. Sports is still today, an aspect of our life that calls for tremendous personal discipline, on and off the field of play. If you check professional sportsmen, most of them talk about being role models within their community and giving back to their communities. It is through efforts such as this sponsorship that we here in Anguilla can mold young people into productive men and women, as interaction through sports helps to build character, respect and discipline." President of the Anguilla Cricket Association Mr Gerard Gumbs. In making the presentation, Weblinks representative, Mr Kennedy Hodge stated that he hopes Weblinks will someday be able to provide sponsorship for all expenses of the National Team. The Company has this year provided team members with three warm up t-shirts, playing shirts, warm up pants and a travelling shirt. Weblinks is a locally owned and based company that has been in operation since late 1999. -- ----------------- R. A.
