Roseau, Dominica, June 17, 2022:  The Dominica Chess Federation will host our National Championship trophy ceremony at the Dominica State College on Saturday June 18 at 3pm. The Dominica Chess Federation has completed its first ever National Chess Championships as a FIDE-recognized federation, over the weekend of May 13-15.

After 7 rounds of fierce competition only one person could emerge the winner; with the winner being determined by the player with the most points.

Local junior rowers have been putting in the work on Lake Cunningham as they prepare for competition at the 2022 CanAmMex International Regatta to be held on Fanshawe Lake in London, Ontario, Canada. It is set for July 11-12.

After seeing their four-game win streak snapped last Friday against the Chicago Sky, the Connecticut Sun scored a season-high 105 points in hopes of starting another winning streak on Wednesday. Bahamian Jonquel ‘JJ’ Jones dropped in 15 points to help her team take down the Atlanta Dream, 105-92, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Jones almost got a double-double as she was able to grab nine boards. Her 15 points came after she was held to a season-low seven points against the Sky despite grabbing a season-high 14 rebounds.

On Trac X- Ceed goes into next Monday’s final match versus Mitres in the Flow/ Bank of SVG Fast- 5 Netball Tournament, as the lone unbeaten team.

Originally set for last Thursday, June 16 , the planned event had to be rescheduled because of the inclemency of the weather that forced the postponement of the Maple Netball Club versus Mitres game on Monday.

More bad weather did not allow for the match to take place on Tuesday; but when it was finally played on Thursday, it resulted in a 21-11 win for the Maple Netball Club. Thus, Maple ended the tournament on eight points.
