West Indies Under-15 Cricket Tournament For TB Sports Park:

...the Henzell-led Breds Foundation and Mr Manley Horne deserve special commendation for their vision in recognising that good sports facilities can bring strong economic spin-offs.

For in basic terms, millions of dollars will be introduced to the St Elizabeth economy as a result of accommodation, transportation, and other services for young cricketers, their support staff, match officials and dignitaries, numbering more than 100, over the two-week period of this tournament.

We are aware that for Mr Henzell, in particular, this is just the start. He has been campaigning for some time with the passion of a religious crusader for St Elizabeth to be viewed as a sports tourism destination. Mr Henzell, hotelier and chairman of St Elizabeth's parish development committee, believes there is a rich pre-season and holiday market for international sporting teams from age-group and school, to senior level.
