Something to smile about

School principal Jeff Broomes has been earmarked for a transfer from Alexandra to Parkinson Memorial.
Yesterday he was at Kensington Oval to watch the St Peter school in the final of the Barbados Cricket Association Republic Bank Rightstart Everton Weekes Under-13 competition.
He wouldn’t have had much to smile about at the end after Alexandra lost to Combermere by 67 runs.
When asked where he will be heading come tomorrow morning, Broomes said: “If God spares my life, Monday morning I will be at my home where I will be waking up.
“The question will be if I will be heading so [pointing south] or so [pointing north].”
Earlier in the day, Broomes (right) enjoyed a light moment with the man whose name the tournament bears, Sir Everton Weekes. (Picture by Kenmore Bynoe.)
