On 12th August, the Caribbean Sports Club held its annual sports day – with the highlight England v Jamaica football match.

A massive 800 children and adults turned up. The Earl Marshall Juniors Football Club brought under 9's and under 10's teams, for matches against a Nottingham Junior Club.

With an Olympic sports theme, the organisers provided activities for adults and young people to try out, with the aim of encouraging participation in sport. As well as football, there was a Usain Bolt 50m dash, mini golf, badminton and rounders.

The Lord Mayor was in attendance and the Lady Mayoress kicked off the women’s Jamaica v England rounders with a good hit of the ball, sending the players scurrying! In the main event, England successfully regained the football title from Jamaica!
