Sunday 18th August was a day filled with emotions of joy, as the members of the community of Fond Cole participated in a sports fun day.

Shouts of excitement echoed in the community in support of their teams.

Three teams participated and were identified by their colors: Yellow, Green and Orange.

These colors illuminated the Esso area at Fond Cole as the teams engaged each other in various sporting events such as football, basketball, lime-and-spoon and rounders, just to name a few.

The children weren’t left out. They too demonstrated their talents in bowling, relay and so on. Two of the girls put on a splendid, eye-catching and entertaining display of woola-hoops: around the neck, on the knees and on the arm.

DJ-Barber kept the people moving, while Dark-Vada, Fifty and others free-styled, demonstrating raw musical talent and fueling the community spirit.

Aromas of BBQ, Fried Chicken and pig-foot stormed the nostrils of the enthusiastic onlookers. Everyone described it as a ‘fun day’ where true community spirit was exhibited.

According to the reports and feedback given, next year’s FUN DAY is already highly anticipated.

Each one of the teams won “something”, but Green Team won overall, copping Basketball, Relay Races, Cricket and Rounders.

The Yellow Team won in Football, Lime-and-Spoon and Sack Race, while Orange Team won the Domino Contest.

        This is my dream and aspiration. The Fond Cole Community is on my heart and that’s where it will remain. My brother Andre Delsol started it by requesting for the abandoned office building of Esso Company under the leadership of Mr Patrick Roland John. The purpose for this building after repaired would be used for Group meetings, Cultral and Sporting Activities and Social and other activities by the people of Fond Cole. Therefore my aim is to ensure that his dreams and wishes come true. People, boys and girls, now is the time to claim and to take care of what is yours. With your help and support the committee will succeed in its endeavors. Let’s all join hands and work together to build our community.

    Great job! Keep up the good work Fondcole. We are not given anything we have to do for ourselves. Hope one day some government will find it fit to invest in our youths and bless us with a proper playing field.
