Home Sports Region 10 education officer gushes praise over National Championship victory ...
The newly appointed Regional Education Officer of Region 10 (Upper Demerara- Berbice), Rabindra Singh, has been effusive in expressing his happiness at the victory secured by District 10 (Upper Demerara/Kwakwani) in this year’s National Schools Championships.
Proudly displaying the District’s winning trophies at the Office of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) on Thursday, Singh urged that there be improvements in other categories of the Championships next year. He disclosed how relieved he was that the victory continued under his leadership.
“This success is nothing new to Linden,” Singh declared. “It is just a continuation which I was glad for, (because) I didn’t want to lose it; because for years you have been receiving this trophy,” Singh said.
District 10 has this year secured the Champion of Champions Trophy for the fourth successive year in a row. The District secured 66 points to successfully defend its National Schools’ Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field Championships which recently concluded at the National Track and Field Centre at Leonora, West Coast Demerara. This is also the seventeenth year that the District has succeeded in the championships’ 58 year history. It has again won the track and field segment of the championships, and Singh has urged improved performances in other categories next year.
“We really have to work hard next year, because we cannot afford (to win) just one segment of the championship; we need to at least secure a spot at the Cycling next year and/or the Swimming, because we did well in the Athletics, and I don’t think anybody will beat us in the near future,” Singh continued.
The Regional Education Officer has said he is also looking for improvement in the Teacher’s category of the championships.
