Goodwill relays on today at Eve Leary

The second edition of the Goodwill relays will be held today at the Police Sports Club ground, Eve Leary from 10:00hrs after a one-year break.

The event, which is a spinoff of the Seventh Day Adventist Youth Congress sports meet which is normally held in October, is being run off after inclement weather forced the games to be put off last year.

According to one of the organisers of the event, Derill Gittens, the games will feature the federations that finished in the top eight of last year’s youth congress event.

Gittens also said that national clubs such as the Police Sports Club, the Running Brave Athletics Club and the Guyana Defence Force Sports Club are all expected to participate in an invitational relay event.

Calphays, who are the defending champion federation in the relay event, will look to hold onto their crown.

They also won the last edition of the youth congress sports last October.

The event is expected to be a real crowd pleaser as the organisers believe that it will be a day of intense competition.
