The annual Mayberry Investments-sponsored Superstars of Port Antonio Marlin Tournament has officially come to an end after four days of intense and friendly rivalry.
The Portland-based event saw a total of 13 boats competing for the top prize of $750,000 at the Errol Flynn Marina.
The organiser of the tournament, Robert ‘Bobby’ Stewart, had high praises for title sponsors Mayberry.
“I have nothing but admiration for the Superstars Marlin Tournament’s title sponsors, Mayberry Investments Limited. They have made this tournament a success with their vital contribution,” said Stewart. “With their hands on deck, we were able to execute well. We look forward to another successful tournament to come.”
The fishing boat Bad Market from Grand Cayman won the tournament with a whopping 900 points to walk away with the cash prize of $750,000 along with several other prizes.
The winning team also received an invitation to represent Jamaica at the Offshore World Championship fishing tournament in Costa Rica in 2023.
A team from the Cayman Islands finished second for $450,000 while third place went to Reckless, who took home $300,000.
Vice-president of sales and client relations at Mayberry Investments, Christine Benjamin, said that her company was ” thrilled to support such a fantastic event.”
Benjamin further added that “the company has always been aware of the tournament’s enormous potential, especially in light of the measures it made to have a good effect on the economy of Port Antonio and the neighboring areas.”

Tobago hoteliers’ head: End of Virgin flights won’t affect tourism

Chris James
BOARD MEMBER of the Tobago Tourism Agency (TTAL) and president of the Hoteliers Association Chris James on Friday dismissed fears that the discontinuation of Virgin Airlines’ flights to Tobago from Heathrow Airport, London, would affect the hotel and tourism business.
James told Newsday flights by other airlines will continue to provide services, so the end of Virgin flights would not hurt the industry.
“We are getting a Condor flight from Germany, the two British Airways flights, the JFK Caribbean Airlines flight to Tobago and two Barbados flights,” he said.
He added that TTAL plans to go to the World Travel Market in London – the leading international travel event, which provides opportunities for inbound and outbound tourism professionals – where it will be looking for more flights.
“We need to have at least five originating destinations,” James said. “We have the US, the UK and Germany. I want Canada and Scandinavia.”
In a release sent to the media earlier this week, TTAL said it would discontinue its airline contract with Virgin Atlantic for airlift between Tobago and the UK as a result of a “strategic review and realignment of the agency’s investment in airlift for the destination.
“The return on investment for the Virgin Atlantic airlift subsidy funded by the public sector has been deteriorating steadily over the years, to the point where the renewal of their contract could not be logically defended and executed,” TTAL chairman Alicia Edwards said in the release.
James said TTAL would focus on marketing other flights from London.
“We get the British Airways flight that comes to Tobago twice a week from the end of the month, October 31. It is better that we spend the money wisely and market that flight,” he said.
Virgin Atlantic resumed flights in January after two years of lockdowns due to covid19. The airline’s carrier, the A330-300, with 183 economy delight, classic and light seats, 48 premium and 31 upper-class seats, landed in Tobago on January 29 – its first flight since the lockdowns – with 20 passengers.
James suggested Tobago should not be dependent on one destination, noting that because of the devaluing of the pound, there have been estimates that travel to the Caribbean from the UK will decrease by 15 per cent.
“If you have a problem like we do in the UK, you just switch your marketing efforts to the other originating destinations, so you are not too dependent on one. That is how we have to be as a leisure destination.”
He said TTAL is already in discussions with airlines in Canada and Scandinavia.
“We are talking to airlines in these destinations and we will continue to talk to them until we are successful.”

Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips told indigenous Guyanese, who were gathered at the Everest Cricket Club ground for the start of the 2022 Amerindian Heritage Games, that the Government will continue to make the necessary investments in sport.
The Senior Government Official declared the much-anticipated Games opened earlier today.
“As you partake in these activities, do so with the confidence that this Government will continue to invest in sport. Moreover, as this event serves as a highlight on the calendar of activities for Amerindian Heritage Month, we must be reminded that the opportunities and investments in the sporting sector will not only be limited to the people on the coast but to all Guyanese, including our Amerindian people.”
At the event, Prime Minister Phillips reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to the development of Amerindian and hinterland communities.
He went on to say that Guyana’s growing economy will help to develop the social sector, which includes the promotion of culture and sport in order to develop a well-rounded population.
“It is said that the value of sport is such that it teaches us universal soft skills and learning values that all contribute to our sense of responsible citizenship. For this reason, our Government has pledged to invest heavily in sport in Guyana, as it contributes to building all-rounded citizens who lead fulfilling lives.”
The Prime Minister also announced that the winner of the female cricket competition will be sponsored to compete in the Prime Minister’s Cup later this year.
POSITIVE INVESTMENTS
Prime Minister Phillips reminded that $250m was set aside in 2022 for the development and improvement of a number of community grounds across the country and that in 2021, 25 community grounds in Regions One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, and Ten were upgraded.
“Guyana’s growing economy must be able to support the development of the social sector and part of that includes the promotion of culture and sport to develop a well-rounded population,” the Prime Minister added.
Thus far, the Government has invested in the development of sport infrastructure, including the completion of synthetic tracks in Regions Six and Ten; Multi-purpose sport facilities in Regions Two, Six and 10; the erection of stands at the National Track and Field Centre; Rehabilitation works at the National Stadium; and continued maintenance works to sport facilities including the McKenzie Sports Club, the Kwakwani Recreational Centre, the National Aquatic Centre and Colgrain Pool.
Also present at the opening of the Heritage Games today were the Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Pauline Sukhai; the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Nigel Dharamlall; Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Lenox Shuman and several members of the diplomatic community.
