Boyce & Jefford relay festival rescheduled to May 7

The second edition of the Boyce and Jefford Relay Festival and Family Funday was rescheduled to next Sunday, May 7 at Eve Leary, Police Sports Club Ground.

The reason for the rescheduling of the event that was slated for Sunday April 30, was due to the persistent rainfall in the city for close to two days leading up to the event.
The following is announcement updated on one of the co-founders of the event, Edison Jefford, Facebook status yesterday; “Dear all, please be advised that owed to inclement weather over the past 48 hours that inundated the Eve Leary Ground, the Boyce and Jefford Relay Festival and Family Fun Day was rescheduled to next Sunday, May 7 at the same venue…”
The planned event received a lot of positive reviews and was anticipated by athletes and fans of the sport, unfortunately they will have to wait a week before it run off.
This year’s event will see the addition of the 4x200m and 4x400m mixed relays, which will involve teams comprising of two males and two females each. These two events will join the other eight already on the programme.
