20th
Feburary 2010
AND THE
WINNER IS...!
Anthony De Beauvile

With
St.Lucia hours away before it ushers in its
31st Independence Anniversary and with
the dwindling economy facing the wider world,
Fair Helen is no exception. To date one independent
activity has been cancelled. It is uncertain
whether to use the term million dollar question,
but one can safely say all and sundry in the
sporting world are anticipating the outcome
when the final results are made known by the
master of ceremonies on the evening journalist
Winston Springer Jr.
Local sports enthusiasts throughout St.Lucia
and the region at large will know who tops the
prestigious awards list as Sportsman and Sportswoman
for 2009.
From the list of nominees that was sent in by
the 15 sports associations on or before the
deadline date of Thursday 21st January to the
Department of Youth and Sports, based on the
following 15 out of the 40 nominees were short
listed, Personal Achievement, Performance on
the field of play, and Contribution to the Development
of the Sport. The 15 were made public to the
various national sports associations and media
personnel.
Like last year the 2009 National Sports Awards
Ceremony is under the distinguished patronage
of Her Excellency the Governor General Dame
Pearlette Louisy and will be held at the Gaiety
in Rodney Bay, Gros Islet this evening Saturday,
20th February at 7:30 pm on the buzzer. |

and Sports Leonard Montoute and an undisclosed
number of specially invited guests.

of the Year are: - Lenyn Leonce - Athletics,
Dalton Polius – Cricket and Joshua Runako
Daniel – Swimming. Junior Sportswoman
of the Year: - Sandisha Antoine – Athletics,
Siona Huxley – Swimming and Julia D’
Auvergne Tennis.
Like in previous years, they were all exciting
in their game. For Sportsman of the Year:
- Zepherinus Joseph – Athletics, Darren
Sammy – Cricket, Julien Brice –
Swimming, Adrian Albert – Table Tennis
and Kurt Maraj – Cycling. Like the men
the ladies certainly brought joy and excitement
to our hearts too, for Sportswoman of the
Year: - Lavern Spencer – Athletics,
Maria David – Cricket, Danielle Beaubrun
– Swimming, and Dania Hamilton –
Volleyball. So the lines are drawn; I have
carefully made my pick, so your guess is as
good as always.
