Description
We then introduced sports scholarships, which meant now that I had to look around the Region for talented sportspersons; for sportsmen and women. We [participated in] fifteen sports, so I looked around the region for quality footballers, quality cricketers, hockey players, basketball players, netball players, etc. That gave us a new lease of life because we were getting people coming into the university from Trinidad & Tobago, from Jamaica, from Antigua, from St. Vincent and St. Lucia, who were bright people, but also very good at sports. Which made the teams even stronger. Over the years, we were able to increase the number of scholarships. To this day, from about 2006/7, the university team, which is called the UWI Blackbirds, has dominated every sport in Barbados.
