GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Jun 3, CMC – Heads of anti-corruption agencies and government integrity commissions from across the Caribbean part of the Commonwealth are meeting here this week to discuss the fight against corruption.
The conference, being held for the first time here, comes five years after the government passed but failed to implement its own legislation to deal with corruption in public office.
The theme for the fifth annual conference of the Commonwealth Caribbean Association of Integrity Commissions and Anti-Corruption Bodies (CCAICACB) is “Transforming Words into Action: Revitalising the Fight Against Corruption”.
Panel discussions will cover corruption in sports, modernising legislative frameworks, the investigative battle against corruption and new technologies to combat corruption.
“I believe we all have a lot to learn and share in both the development and implementation of meaningful and effective strategies for controlling corruption,” said the Chairperson for the Commissions for Standards in Public Life (CSPL) Rosie Myles.
“Attendees comprise delegates from anti-corruption units from Antigua
and Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St
Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, as well as from the host
country, the Cayman Islands. Others include representatives from the
Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime,
National Integrity Action Jamaica and the Robert H. Smith School of
Business at the University of Maryland,” said Myles.
The conference is sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund for Technical
Cooperation, the Commonwealth Secretariat, CSPL and the Cayman Islands
Government.
Tiger Woods says his Masters
triumph is “right up there” with his greatest achievements, having faced
“serious doubts” he would ever contend again.
Woods, 43, won a
fifth Green Jacket at Augusta National on Sunday, his first major win in
11 years and a first since having four operations on his back.
The 15-time major winner said he “could barely walk” before surgery and his children had seen golf cause “pain”.
“We’re creating new memories for them and it’s just very special,” he said.
“I
was very lucky to be given another chance to do something that I love
to do. I had serious doubts after what transpired a couple of years ago.
“I couldn’t lay down, I couldn’t do much of anything. I had the procedure which gave me a chance of having a normal life.
“All
of a sudden I realised I could swing a club again. I felt if I could
somehow piece this together I still had the hands to do it. The body is
not the same but I still had good hands.
“To have the opportunity
to come back like this, you know it’s probably one of the biggest wins
I’ve ever had for sure. It’s got to be right up there, with all the
things I’ve battled through.”
Woods one-stroke win from fellow Americans Dustin Johnson, Xander
Schauffele and Brooks Koepka will take him to number six in the world –
he was as low as 1,199 in November 2017.
Since his last major win,
he had taken an “indefinite break” from golf in 2009 after admissions
of infidelity and the breakdown of his marriage. In 2017, he was in the
spotlight again when he was found asleep at the wheel of his car, later
pleading guilty to reckless driving.
Those controversies, not to
mention his being limited to just 24 tournament starts in four years
from 2014, saw him written off by some observers and he told 18-time
major winner Jack Nicklaus he “was done” at the Masters Champions Dinner
in 2017.
Instead, when he tapped in to confirm victory on Sunday, he moved to within three major wins of Nicklaus’ record.
“I think the kids are starting to understand how much the game means to me,” Woods added.
“Prior
to the comeback they only knew golf caused me a lot of pain. If I tried
to swing a club I’d be on the ground in pain, so that’s basically all
they remember.
“To come back here and play as well as I did has
meant so much to me and my family – this tournament, and to have
everyone here is something I’ll never forget.
“It’s overwhelming
because of what has transpired. Last year I was just lucky to be playing
again, the previous dinner I was really struggling, missed a couple of
years of this great tournament and to now be the champion… it’s unreal
for me to experience this.
“I couldn’t be more happy and excited,
I’m kind of at a loss for words. To have my kids there, it’s come full
circle. My dad was here in ’97 and now I’m the dad with two kids there.”
Nicklaus ‘shaking’ over record mark
Players from across the sport offered congratulations to the champion
on social media, including Nicklaus, who said the win was “fantastic
for the game of golf”.
Nicklaus added: “I felt for a long time he
was going to win again. And, you know, the next two majors are at
Bethpage, where he’s won [2002 US Open], and Pebble Beach, where he’s
won [2000 US Open].
“So, you know, he’s got me shaking in my boots, guys.”
Three-time
Masters winner Nick Faldo said Sunday’s win provided “the greatest
scene in golf forever”, while 1993 US PGA winner Paul Azinger told BBC
Sport many of the game’s elite names would now get their wish to compete
against Woods.
“These other guys kept saying they wanted to be
against Tiger but you better be careful what you ask for as you’ll get a
real dose of Tiger now,” said Azinger.
“The worst emotion anyone
can feel is shame and he had a real dose of it. From elite athlete to
the butt of the late-night TV joke. He’s turned it all around.”
So this is where we were taken from – FB – Craig Brewin
The eight other teams in contention for the last four qualifying places are
St Kitts & Nevis, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Dominican Republic and Bermuda
(who play each other), Guyana & Belize (who also play each other), and
French Guiana. To add some spice to the final round of matches, and some
unpredictability, CONCACAF has arranged things to ensure that each team plays
someone of a similar ranking. This is also the final round of qualifying for next
season Nations League groupings so everyone has something to play for.
The following is how the weekend needs to pan out for Montserrat.
Day 1: Friday 22nd March. Cayman Islands v Montserrat.
Montserrat has to win. A big win may help. Montserrat is now ahead of Cayman
Islands in the FIFA rankings and given its form so far, a win for Montserrat is
possibly the more likely option.
Day 2: Saturday 23rd March. Guyana v Belize. Surinam v St Kitts &Nevis.
Either Guyana or Belize will almost certainly finish above Montserrat if
they win. St Kitts will finish above Montserrat if they win.
Day 2: Saturday 23rd March. El Salvador v Jamaica.
Kicking off after the two earlier games have finished, El Salvador needs a
win against a Jamaica team looking to qualify for League A in the Nations
League. It is possible that a big win in the Cayman Islands could see
Montserrat stay ahead of El Salvador on goal difference.
Day 3: Sunday 25th. Dominican Republic v Bermuda.
This game is sudden death, with the winners virtually guaranteed to finish
ahead of Montserrat.
Day 3: Sunday 25th. Canada v French Guiana.
This match kicks off at the same time as the game in the Dominican Republic.
Montserrat will need French Guiana to lose or draw. It has a good team but was
beaten 4-2 by Canada when they met in the 2017 Gold Cup.
Day 3: Sunday 25th. Barbados v Nicaragua. A win for Nicaragua will see
them finish ahead of Montserrat. Unless French Guiana, St Kitts and Nevis, and
El Salvador have failed to win, it will probably all be down to this game.
Montserrat will need Nicaragua to fail to win.
Of course, if Montserrat doesn’t beat Cayman Islands then none of
this will matter. Not in terms of the Gold Cup anyway. But there is still next
season’s Nations League.

“You’d
literally be playing out here and getting scraped up off the floor.”
Bradley Woods-Garness is standing a few yards from one of the north
London pitches that, when he was a youngster, tested mettle as much as
skill. The five-a-side surface at Elthorne Park is now made of
artificial turf, a far cry from the concrete that would shudder the
bones of the Corinthian-Casuals forward and those who joined him.
“There’d be scars all over your knees,” he says. “But we loved it.”
It is a chilly Sunday morning and, just behind him, a new generation is going through its own rite of footballing passage. Woods-Garness has returned with five of his oldest friends, all of whom cut their teeth in uncompromising surroundings here and at other venues around Islington. Each of them still lives locally. They could never have imagined it but all of them are international footballers now, playing for the same side, and they stand on the verge of something extraordinary.
If Montserrat defeat Cayman Islands in the early hours of Saturday
then, with favourable results elsewhere, the tiny Caribbean island’s
team will qualify for their first Concacaf Gold Cup. They are ranked
200th in the world but a core of players who grew up a few streets apart
have helped turn their fortunes round.
Recruitment for the national team always leant upon word of mouth.
Thousands of Montserratians relocated to the UK during the 20th century,
Windrush arrivals followed by those who were displaced by the Soufrière
Hills volcano’s catastrophic eruption between 1995 and 1997. The side
was mainly staffed by their descendants, usually England-born and
playing on the non-league circuit. That has not changed much but the way
things fell into place for the current crop makes remarkable listening.
“I literally started asking everyone I knew who played football at
any level: ‘Do you have any Montserrat in you?’” Dean Mason is among
three of the group who play for the National League side Maidenhead
United. He began representing Montserrat in 2012 – qualifying through
his paternal grandmother, a Windrush settler – after striking up a
friendship with the now Sweden-based player Alex Dyer; he and
Woods-Garness were teammates at Canvey Island then and, en route to a
match, he mentioned his call-up. “I’m from Montserrat too,”
Woods-Garness replied. When their mutual astonishment had subsided, they
set to work on signing him up with the British protectorate’s FA.

The
pair discovered a squad accustomed to crushing defeats and sought to
strengthen it. No stone was left unturned: social media were scoured,
friends of friends petitioned. Sol Henry, a veteran of the local
non-league scene and friend from those bruising kickabouts, was enlisted
during a night of tenpin bowling in 2014 and found himself flying to a
Caribbean Cup tie against the US Virgin Islands within days.
Adrian Clifton says he saw an Instagram post showing his companions
on a beach and thought: “What’s going on?” He would make his debut in
March 2015, during a World Cup qualifier with Curaçao. James Comley, who
completes the Maidenhead contingent with Clifton, had believed his
grandfather hailed from St Lucia but, after casually telling his father
that Mason and company were travelling with Montserrat, was amazed to be
put straight. He would also begin against Curaçao. Last year Comley’s
younger brother Brandon, the Colchester United midfielder, also won his
first cap.
Quick guide
The men making history for Montserrat
The deep-set bond between all six is clear: the ribbing and in-jokes
barely let up but there is a tenderness, a sensitivity, about their
interactions too. None of them envisaged this during those days taking
kicks on the gravel. Mason saw the new-look team take shape and began to
think: “We can definitely do something here.” A much-improved
Montserrat ran Curaçao – a formidable side packed with talent from the
Dutch leagues – close in that tie; it was a precursor of what they have
achieved since but none of them knew, at the time, that the team would
not play again for three and a half years.
“People forgot about us,” Mason says. “It was horrible. We stuck
together and kept a WhatsApp group going but I felt it was just turning
into a whole lot of sarcastic comments. It was like: ‘We’re never going
to play together again so we might as well meet up and go to Topgolf.’”
They now understand we’re not here for money and just want to give something back
Bradley Woods-Garness
Their adventure appeared to be over as soon as it had started. Montserrat had contested only 34 games since first playing in 1991, in any case; the resources for regular fixtures beyond World Cup ties were just not there. But Concacaf’s creation of a Uefa-style Nations League transformed everything. Now each team was guaranteed meaningful competition and money to stage it. The top 10 of a 34-team table will join sides such as the USA and Mexico at this summer’s Gold Cup. Montserrat came within seconds of a draw with El Salvador last September; they subsequently beat Belize and Aruba. It creates an opportunity on Grand Cayman that would have seemed impossible in 2002, when they lost 4-0 to Bhutan in the “Other World Cup final” between the globe’s two lowest-ranked teams.

Overseeing Montserrat’s resurgence is Willie Donachie, the former Scotland international and assistant to Joe Royle at various clubs, who became manager last year. James Comley describes him affectionately as “like a Buddha”; the players admire his serenity and man-management, also appreciating how he allows a necessarily self-sufficient bunch their say on tactics. Donachie quickly understood their closeness and, in several cases, grounding at top-flight academies could be harnessed effectively.
Only 5,000 people live on Montserrat and, at first, the newcomers detected some suspicion. “They now understand we’re not here for money and just want to give something back,” Woods-Garness says. “We are winning games has returned taking to us and enjoying what we do. They can stand up and say: ‘Yeah, you can’t beat our island!”
The process of connecting their roots has been difficult but
important. “Every time my grandad talks about home he always says:
‘Where I’m from in Montserrat ain’t there no more,’” Clifton says. “It’s
always been an uncomfortable conversation. So to go there and see what
he actually meant with my own eyes, half the island literally empty, one
side green, one side ash …” He trails off and the group swap memories
of the tours they received, taking in the island’s exclusion zone, upon
visiting for the first time. After understanding the devastation that
had been wreaked, there was no mistaking what they had committed to.
The hope is others will follow. “We’re just kicking this off,” Clifton says. “It’s only going to get bigger; there’s going to be better players than us coming through.” Montserrat can now afford their own talent detection; the days of scouting for teammates are gone. Lyle Taylor, the Charlton forward, is their highest-profile player but a number of Premier League clubs are producing footballers of Montserratian ancestry and there is optimism that, with continued progress, the temptation to hold out for a call from England will be reduced.
By the time they sign up, the boys from those neighbourhoods around
Elthorne Park may have completed their fairytale. “We’ve created a fear
and other teams respect us,” Clifton says. Montserrat must justify a
rare “favourites” tag with three points against the Cayman Islands and
hope three other results go their way. The permutations are complex but
it is not far-fetched. Finishing the job would crown a tale worthy of a
film script.
“I don’t think anybody could believe something like this was
possible,” Woods-Garness says. “I don’t think they could believe that
five, six, seven people from the same area can grow up together and go
on to play international football, and be on the verge of making
something as big as the Gold Cup. It’s phenomenal.”
What it means to play international football for Montserrat
By Craig Brewin
The world is starting to sit up and take notice of the Montserrat
Football Team, with regular features starting to appear in World Soccer
Magazine, social media, and the national press in
the UK. Its achievements are drawing comparison’s with Jack Charlton’s Irish side who, 25 years ago, made it to the World Cup quarter finals in the USA with a team made up primarily of players born to, and in one case adopted by, Irish parents and grandparents. For Montserrat the USA also beckons, with qualification for the 2019 Gold Cup (the International Tournament for North and Central America and the Caribbean) a distinct possibility. Coincidently, Montserrat’s final decisive game of qualifying is 22nd March, a few days after St Patricks Day.
Montserrat’s unexpected charge to the
finals is being helped by a number of factors: A one-off free for all
qualifying tournament designed to facilitate the creation of the new Concacaf
Nations League, and an expansion of the
Gold Cup Finals to 16 teams. They also have a very experienced coach, Willie
Donachie, who has coached in the Premier League and been to two World Cups with
Scotland. Whether or not the team makes it the USA, the journey has been an
experience, with the players clearly relishing the competition. They have already
qualified for League B in the New Nations League, which gives them another, but
more difficult, chance to qualify for the Gold Cup in two year’s time.
So what does it mean to be an English born
Montserrat international? It is clear from reading their interviews and tweets
that it means a lot. They are a close group of players. Being a small group,
they have known each other for a few years now, and their common Montserratian
heritage is something they are proud of.
Brandon Comely said after the El Salvador
game: ”it was the first time that I’ve lined up in a game with my brother and
going to play for a country that’s in our blood was a proud moment. “Spencer
Weir-Daley said: “Playing for your country is one of the best honours in
football” and that the team was honoured
to be “representing their parents and grandparents”.
Adrian Clifton has said that “not many
footballers get an international call up even those in the Premier League. As a
footballer it is one of the proudest things you can do, whether it is playing
for a big country or a small island everyone wants to play for their country.
With my family coming from Montserrat I’ve got massive support there.” After
the Belize game he tweeted: “the phone call I just got from my grandad actually
made me cry”.
Captain Lyle Taylor has said “Very few
players get the chance to play for their countries, whether it’s the county
where they were born or whatever. There was no way I was going to turn that
down.” It’s the “chance to represent the country my dad’s side of the family
come from”. After his first call up he said: “I can’t wait to show my
grandparents the videos and pictures, just to hear about how different things
were when they lived there”
Taylor has also spoken about meeting an
Uncle “Beep-Beep” who he never knew he had, and Dean Mason has said: “I
felt more of a connection with my Grandmother when I went there. It’s a really
nice feeling to play for my country and to make her proud. When you meet the
locals, they explain to you what they went through with the volcano”.
Whatever the outcome of this season, the
achievements over the past few months have shown that the team is far better
than their lowly seeding recognised. Donanchie’s assistant, former Everton
physio Mick Rathbone, described the win over Belize as the best team
performance he had seen in his whole life.
They have to win their last game, and they
need their rivals to lose, but they are optimistic of making it to the USA.
Joey Taylor said Montserrat “rattled” Belize, and El Salvador struggled to
“cope”. “We have a real chance of qualifying” said Weir-Daley, with Dean Mason
being more forthright: “Bro, it’s happening, I can feel it in my bones”. “We
will show the world what Montserrat are capable of,” said Messiah McDonald, “we
are coming for the Gold Cup.”
Craig Brewin writes a ‘blog’ (Living on the Island of
Montserrat Montserrat’s only ironically meta blog covering football, human rights and
shopping)
The following is taken from a ‘blog’ (Living on the Island of Montserrat Montserrat’s only ironically meta blog covering football, human rights and shopping) that we were introduced to by pure coincidence as a result of the clip of the final score in Aruba just a bit earlier.
“So, can Montserrat win? Can Aruba go all the way to the Gold Cup? It’s really hard to predict. Neither side has qualified for even a Caribbean Cup before, but a win for one of them puts them on the brink of immortality. Both sides are well organised and can keep possession. Aruba has committed the most fouls in the tournament so far and has had only 9 shots at goal. Don’t expect a classic, don’t expect a goal fest. But for the winner, there will be a long agonising wait for the final decisive match of the tournament…”
Jamaica qualify for FIFA Women’s World Cup for first time in history
Become first Caribbean nation to book ticket to world finals
Head coach Hue Menzies reacts, FIFA.com rounds up their statistics
17 October 2018: That will be a date which will have a special place of significance in Jamaican football history forever. The Reggae Girlz became the first Caribbean nation to qualify for a senior Women’s World Cup on that date, defeating Panama 4-2 on penalties after an extra-time 2-2 draw in the match for third place at the CONCACAF Women’s Championship, the region’s qualifying tournament for France 2019.
Casual observers would have seen the penalty shootout and the resulting celebrations from the women in the yellow jerseys and perhaps thought it was just another team winning a penalty shootout. But it was far more than that.
Let Jamaica head coach Hue Menzies give some context to the moment.
“I’m telling you the amount of sacrifices we’ve made – the staff, the players – for the country, we’re going to change the culture back home,” Menzies said. “How they perceive women, it’s changed.
“It’s a big sacrifice. And you know what? Those 20 girls decided they were going to make the change. It’s amazing right now. Not too many words can be said.
“This is way more than football,” Menzies continued. “Big up to Cedella Marley for putting the neck on the line for us. The thank-yous can’t stop. The sacrifices will still keep plugging, the adversities will always be there, but I’m telling you it’s a lot more than football. This is just a statement. We’re going to go back home and celebrate. There’s not a whole lot of space on that island, but we’re going to find every inch to celebrate on because it’s history.”

TMR: Is one-day limited overs killing WIndies test cricket?
RAJKOT, India, CMC – West Indies suffered a humiliating innings and 272-run defeat inside three days in the opening Test here Saturday, to hand India their largest-ever victory in Tests.
Starting the third day at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium requiring a huge effort to remain in the contest, West Indies spectacularly lost 14 wickets, to extend their unflattering 24-year-old record without a victory on Indian soil.
They were dismissed for 181 in their first innings after resuming the day on 94 for six, with Roston Chase top-scoring with 53 and tail-ender Keemo Paul getting 47. Off-spinner Ravi Ashwin grabbed four for 37.

Kuldeep Yadav wrecked the innings with five for 57 while fellow left-arm spinner Ravi Jadeja picked up three for 35.
Antigua & Barbuda ended the tournament with a dominant 136 run victory over Monserrat to finish the tournament in second place.
It was a rain affected day’s play which ended the match prematurely late on the last day of the tournament when the only fixture for the day was between Antigua and Montserrat at Little Bay.
Antigua & Barbuda with a hard-hitting innings which was interrupted when skipper Rahkeem Cornwall limped off the field with a leg injury to return at the fall of the ninth wicket and scoring 118 runs. Antigua & Barbuda amassed 245 runs from 47 overs, losing 9 wickets.
Kahreem Cornwal about to hit another towering 6
Cornwall’s belligerent unbeaten knock came off of 80 deliveries and included 7 fours and 10 sixes. He was supported by small contributions from Jamaul Fernandez (26) and Orlando Peters (24).
Like the day before Montserrat fumbled badly after capturing the A & B first 3 wickets under 10 runs. After a partnership between Fernandez and Peters they captured 4 more wickets before A & B posted 100.
The slow left-arm bowler dapper Zawandi White captured 4 wickets for 38 runs for Montserrat while Damion Williams took 2 for 60 from 9 overs.
In reply, Montserrat limped to 97 for the loss of 7 wickets chasing a revised target of 233 runs, when the rains poured down and invoking the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method strongly in favour of the overpowering Antigua position.
Deno Baker scored an unbeaten 26 runs to lead the batting while Jaison Petrs scored 24 runs. Bowling for Antigua, Kofi James ended with 2 wickets for 16 runs from 9 overs and Jamaul Fernandez took 2 for 20 from 8 overs.

Montserrat stumbles to defeat by Anguilla
Montserrat 2018 50 Overs team
After a strong bowling start, Montserrat allowed Anguilla from 114 for 7 to post a score of 210. But it was nail biting finish that gave Anguilla their second win of the tournament, Montserrat needing 8 runs in the final over falling short by 3.
