VICE-Chairman of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), Humace Odit, has revealed that the town of Anna Regina will soon benefit from a multipurpose indoor sports facility, compliments of the People’s Republic of China. Odit made the revelation during an interview with reporters at the sidelines of an event at Supenaam on Saturday. Odit disclosed that on January 23, 2021, he met with the outgoing Chinese Ambassador to Guyana, Cui Jianchun, along with the Assistant Director of Sports, Melissa Dow-Richardson, and a team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, when discussions were held about the proposed design for the facility.

He said the project is earmarked for construction at the Anna Regina Community Centre ground and will take approximately two years to complete. Odit further explained that a cost has not been decided, but the project will be funded by the Chinese government in collaboration with the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports and the Region Two administration. According to the Vice-Chairman, based on the consultations, the project is expected to commence in July 2021. Upon completion, the facility will provide indoor training for various sporting activities. Odit commended the Chinese government and noted that the project will impact Essequibo in a positive way and youths will benefit directly. He said based on discussions with the outgoing ambassador, similar projects will be done in Regions 10 and Six. Odit added that negotiations are also ongoing for Guyana to provide coaching for youths in China to play cricket and, in exchange, they will train youths in Guyana to play Table Tennis.

Is it really a good idea to let the Chinese have so much interest/investment in Guyana.

They scare me.....slowly, slowly, but surely putting their footprints on lands around the world.

Chinese Association was always progressive in Guyana.

Artur Chung was Guyana first President, if I recall !

There are also a lotta inter-marriages with Indos.

Lovely off-springs, I daresay !

--bowled with a wrist-spinner's action, turned into the right-hander from the off

and gave rise to the use in England of the word Chinaman

to describe such a delivery.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 10:28)(10:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 11:58)(11:58)0

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now.
