00:05 Tobago in this fair of sport was bestowed upon former national football

00:09 coach Bertil Sinclair.

00:12 We're leaving to go Panama this Saturday.

00:14 Sinclair qualified to get the third trophy.

00:19 I am the only coach that coach every national team.

00:25 From under 13, right up to the senior team twice.

00:28 Lot of people.

00:30 And we were going to Puerto Rico.

00:32 When I picked the team in the morning,

00:34 Bertil was there too.

00:36 He was 10 years old.

00:37 I remember very well.

00:39 When I picked the team, the manager asked me,

00:44 "Why give me that little ball?"

00:45 I told him, "Who picked the team?"

00:48 And he said, "It's you."

00:49 I remember when we go to Puerto Rico,

00:52 I scored a goal.

00:54 Tobago Medal of Honor gold for distinguished and outstanding service

00:59 to Tobago in this fair of culture was bestowed on Beverly Ramsey Moore.

01:04 Mrs. Ramsey Moore is the first female president of Pantrinbago.

01:08 Black Rock is a community where we have the oldest playing steel band

01:13 on the island of Tobago, which is Cats and Jammers.

01:16 And my father and seven of my uncles

01:20 were foundation members of the steel orchestra.

01:24 And we love to say that Cats and Jammers is the pride of Black Rock.

01:30 And so I got involved in organization and management in that orchestra,

01:35 which eventually led me to becoming the president of Pantrinbago.

01:43 Some of the other awardees included

01:45 Tobago Medal of Honor gold for distinguished and outstanding service

02:18 and longstanding businessman, Bill Brown.

02:21 Receiving the chief secretary's award for outstanding contribution

02:26 and a significant achievement in this fair of sport,

02:29 National Netball coach, Mrs. Kyla Keith Wilson.

02:33 My qualifications allow me to coach any discipline

02:37 because I've done international training and certified.

02:40 And so, however, my passion is netball.

02:44 Although I can play basketball, although I can coach basketball,

02:47 the love for young women and their development, their growth

02:51 is what really have me zeroing in on netball.

02:55 Anybody knows me, I don't do it for recognition.

02:57 I do it because I just genuinely love.

03:00 I'm not sure if I love the girls more or netball more, right?

03:04 But I know there is a love.

03:05 The awards took place at the Shore Park Complex.
