BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Friday 18th August 2023)-The 50th and 45th anniversary celebrations of the 1973 and 1978 St. Kitts Netball Team are currently underway with a week of activities. Public Relations Officer Kamilah Lawrence informed via a press release from Ryddim Communications that the festivities began on Sunday 13th August 2023, with a church service at the Antioch Baptist Church, setting the tone for a week of exciting events.
As reported: “The touching service resonated with the spirit of unity, dedication and accomplishment that has defined our netball legends’ legacy. The presence of the netballers along with fervent supporters, filled the church with an atmosphere of shared triumph and appreciation for their achievements.” The launch of the Primary School Netball Championship was held on Tuesday 15th August.
According to Lawrence: “The initiative is a testament to their commitment to nurturing young talent and cultivating a passion for netball from an early age. The tournament will ignite the spirit of friendly competition, sportsmanship and teamwork among our future netball stars.” On Wednesday 16th August, the netball legends were salted to visit netball stalwarts who contributed immensely to their success in 1973 and 1978, as part of their Community Give Back Day.
The following day (Thursday) was a Fun Day at the Pam Tyson Netball Complex. Slated for Friday (18th August) is the symbolic Nostalgic Walk from the Pam Tyson Netball Complex to Port Zante, retracing the footsteps of netball teams from the 1970s who embarked on this journey after each exhilarating game.
According to Lawrence, the celebrations culminate on Saturday (19th August) with a Grand Gala. The glamorous evening will be a fitting conclusion to the jubilee and sapphire celebrations.
