The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Sports Committee had a packed weekend, hosting a number of sporting activities under the ‘Inter Ministries’ brand.
The first was a dominoes competition; in contention was the Prime Minister’s trophy. A total of nine teams were in action namely: Ministry of Agriculture; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Public Health; Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA); Supreme Court A and B; Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC); Office of the President PSM Division and Ministry of Legal Affairs. After a number of intense games, the GPHC, Supreme Court B and Ministry of Public Health were the last teams standing.
With a grand total of 40 games won, the GPHC came out on top to cop the Prime Minister’s trophy. Supreme Court B came close with 39 games to cop second place and the Ink Plus trophy.
The following day, an Inter-Ministries Tape Ball Cricket Competition was staged at the D’Urban Park tarmac. With a total of seven teams competing, the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) and the GCAA beat out all their opponents to face off with each other in the final match-up.
The GCAA was in to bat first and racked up 65 from their allotted six overs. Although the total seemed a little steep for amateur players, the GFC cruised to victory in just 5.1 overs. As such, the GFC took home the Global Marketing trophy and medals while the GCAA captured the Ink Plus trophy for second place.
