CRICKET West Indies (CWI) and the Republic Bank Group have successfully completed the first trial edition of 5 for Fun – a new and exciting cricket format designed to grow interest and participation in cricket for Primary school aged children.

On Tuesday, a CWI media release said, “Republic Bank and CWI partnered to create and trial this unique five-over, five-player format of the game that sees CWI leveraging their extensive coaching and school’s development infrastructure and Republic Bank’s group-wide Power to Make a Difference programme.”

5 for Fun is designed around the principles of fun, inclusion and equality. The fun elements of the game are rooted in its speed, energy, and uncomplicated rules. Each 5 For Fun game involves five players per team playing five overs each. Each batter faces an over from a single bowler. If a batter is dismissed, they will still face their allotted over, but three runs will be deducted from the team score. The inclusion and equality elements ensure boys and girls of all abilities have the opportunity to play together as equals.

The 5 for Fun pilot scheme started with zonal games held earlier this year in St Lucia. The finals took place recently at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, with the support of the St Lucia National Cricket Association (SLNCA) and the St Lucia Ministry of Education. Following the tournament there was a special presentation ceremony where several enthusiastic players received awards. It was attended by several senior government officials including Kenson Casimir, Minister of Sports; representatives of Republic Bank and members of the SLNCA.

With a combined parish structure forming five zones, 19 school teams participated in zonal preliminary rounds leading to a grand 5 for Fun festival finals. It is hoped that following this successful trial, this new fun and child friendly format will be introduced into other West Indies countries in the coming years.

KJ Singh, senior project officer, schools cricket for CWI said, “5 for Fun is all about putting a bat and a ball into children’s hands for the first time and getting them to participate in a straightforward game of five players per side and five overs each. We will prioritise fun, team work, values, mental focus, tactical awareness and physical development over technical expertise.”

Karen Tom Yew, general manager group marketing and communications at Republic Bank commented, “Republic Bank is thrilled to see the launch of the 5 for Fun tournament. The underlying rationale behind this game really represents our commitment to building local communities and cements our support of diversity, equity and inclusion in sport. We have been working with our friends at CWI for some time on this ground-breaking partnership, and as creators of the format we are committed to its success. 5 for Fun is a paradigm for marketing investments that combine social good with potential growth in shareholder value.”

It is expected that the pilot scheme will ultimately grow into

Québec ne diffusera plus de données concernant les absences des élèves liées spécifiquement à la COVID-19 dans les écoles.

Dans une communication transmise par le ministère de l’Éducation au réseau scolaire jeudi, on peut lire que des modifications seront apportées aux collectes de données en vigueur «à la suite d’un changement d’orientation de la Santé publique». 

Depuis le début de l’année, les écoles devraient transmettre des données concernant les absences liées à la COVID-19 de même que les autres absences, peu importe les raisons. 

À partir du 14 novembre, «la collecte sera élargie afin d’inclure toutes les absences reliées à des symptômes d’allure grippale incluant les absences de COVID-19», peut-on lire dans cette missive. 

Par ailleurs, la collecte de données pour les tests rapides réalisés en milieu scolaire prendra aussi fin à partir du 14 novembre, peut-on lire. 

Ces changements surviennent alors que les autorités de santé publique ont mis fin à la période d’isolement obligatoire de cinq jours pour les personnes atteintes de la COVID-19.  

Québec recommande plutôt à toute personne qui a des symptômes comme la toux ou le nez qui coule de porter un masque, qu’il soit positif à la COVID-19 ou non.
