Academy rewards star players

At least?four members of the Barbados Under-14 cricket team leaving for England this afternoon will be travelling with new bats and sound advice along with their warm clothes.
Fast bowler Javon Cole, along with batsmen Joshua Corbin, Thaddeus Chase and Shian Brathwaite, who smacked a century to pilot Combermere into the LIME Under-15 finals, were applauded and rewarded by their St Philip Academy and teammates yesterday morning at Bayfield.
Coach Trevor Alleyne presented the players with wooden sculptures of a bat, ball and stumps and indicated that they would also receive real bats to take on tour.
He stressed the need for players to stick to the proven rules of uniformed dress and respectful behaviour which were just as key as batting and bowling to be successful on the fields of play and life. (KB)
