Way to go my alma mater. we need to bring back the days when we used to do well in sports. I remember my netball days. Back then we used to be a force to reckon with. Now i see we are coming back. Way to go DGS.
Thats great news. Remember the days when DGS was top in all sports?…athletics, cricket etc…those where the glory days.
Good going schools…Sports Division keep ensuring that there are events planned for the young people and schools, please encourage the students to participate in sport….it is a helpful and beneficial activity. Too many obese children nowadays…and too many conflicts..sports can fight against all these and more.
congrats Tonilia on your 25 goals
Lets keep sport alive in Dominica. Congrats to all .
