Cricket
SIR GARRY TOURNAMENT
talented teams from all over the world have left their mark in performances as much as their friendly demeanour. Sixteen wins have been attained by overseas teams including six from Trinidad and a joint success in 1996 for the Transvaal Combined team from South Africa. The tournament is played on a 40-overs basis with round-robin matches culminating in semi-final knockout games and play-offs for the minor places. The event culminates at the Kensington Oval almost three weeks after the Opening Welcome and immediately following the final the sponsors and special guests make the presentations. The highlight for the winning team members is to receive their medals and to be photographed with Sir Garry, rated the best player ever to grace the game. There can be no greater honour for any aspiring young cricketer than to be in the company of such greatness. The Barbados Tourism Authority has been the principal sponsor since inception and it remains the pivotal source of information for schools wishing to enter the tournament.
