Kenny Benjamin. photo credit cricket.comAntigua St John's - A group of students and teachers from Jennings and Bolans Primary Schools will attend the Inet Kenny Benjamin U13 trophy matches on February 5 thanks to newly announced partner, Sugar Ridge Antigua.

Twenty students from each school, plus their escorts, will be treated to an afternoon of fun at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Grounds. They will be transported to the venue and receive lunch as they watch their team – new addition Evergreen Bolans - play against sides from Liberta, All Saints, Bethesda, Piggotts, and Young Masters.

Aidan McCauley of Sugar Ridge Antigua said they got involved for three simple reasons: "We love cricket, we love kids, and we love Antigua."

Lucia Mings and Brenda Lee Browne of event organisers Persona Community, said, “We are very humbled  and thankful for Sugar Ridge Antigua’s positive contribution to the continuous development of the Inet Kenny Benjamin Youth Fest, and for partnering with us to host students to cheer on and support their peers. This event is all about the youngsters and ensuring that they have a great time.”

This year’s event has also attracted another new partner - Galleon Beach - who will also be treating 20 children and their teachers from the Cobbs Cross School to a similar treat.

Mings and Browne added that the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Grounds, Frank B Armstrong, AS Bryden & Sons, and Goddard Catering continue to support the event. “We have a cadre of partners who do not hesitate to work with us, and their confidence in us inspires us to work even harder to ensure that the Inet Kenny Benjamin Youth Fest meets all its objectives to give children a positive weekend event," they said via release.


Registration forms for the Inet Kenny Benjamin Youth Fest for boys and girls age 8 to 13 can be collected from the Inet office at APUA HQ in Cassada Gardens, or from the event organisers by calling 774-3694 or 774-3688. The weekend costs $10, and includes all materials, refreshments, and t-shirts.
