The na­tion's wealth­i­est and most renowned crick­et club Queen's Park has been hit hard by the coro­n­avirus (COVID-19) pan­dem­ic that start­ed in March and as a re­sult, the club was forced to make dras­tic changes brought on by force ma­jeure.

From cy­cling on the streets of San Fer­nan­do where she grew up to now sit­ting in the pelo­tons of Eu­rope, Te­niel Cam­bell's rise in the sport is both an in­spi­ra­tion and a com­pass that will di­rect T&T to take more lo­cal ath­letes like her to the in­ter­na­tion­al stage. In an in­ter­view this week with Cy­clingnews, the 22-year-old rid­er who now plies her trade in Italy opened up about the state of T&T cy­cling, race and the mark she wants to leave on the sport.

The re­cent state­ment by for­mer pres­i­dent of the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) William Wal­lace, to me, was just a list of poor ex­cus­es that left us with more ques­tions than an­swers.

T&T se­nior women’s net­ball team goal-at­tack Kali­fa Mc Collin and As­cot Park Ho­tel South­ern Steel will be hop­ing to end a two-match los­ing streak to start the 2020 six-club ANZ Pre­mier­ship sea­son when round three match­es take place this week­end at the Auck­land Net­ball Cen­tre, New Zealand.

In a his­toric move, there will be In­di­an flavour for the first time in the Hero Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL) as leg-spin­ner Pravin Tambe at the age of 48 is set to play for the Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers (TKR) in the 2020 edi­tion.

Horse rac­ing is set to re­turn at San­ta Rosa Park for the first time since March 14 with a six-race card on Sat­ur­day. How­ev­er, the ninth race day will look much dif­fer­ent from any in lo­cal horse rac­ing's his­to­ry in this coun­try.

T&T de­fend­er Aubrey David had a sol­id out­ing in cen­tral de­fence along­side Alexan­der Robin­son as De­porti­vo Sapris­sa put one hand on their 35th Cos­ta Ri­ca’s first di­vi­sion Clausura ti­tle with a 2-0 win over bit­ter ri­val and LD Ala­jue­lense in their first-leg match on Wednes­day night.

Last Sat­ur­day, when Prime Min­is­ter Row­ley an­nounced the list­ing on the COVID-19 re­stric­tions, one could have heard the shouts of joy from cit­i­zens.
