Fan’s chance of a lifetime

NEVER mind the result. For one English fan, watching the first Test between West Indies at Kensington Oval was a dream come true.

John Edge has wanted to visit the Caribbean for 50 years to watch a Test match.

The 70-year-old, however, didn’t have the time or the money to come over to the West Indies.

He finally made it last week, thanks to the help of his family and others.

It wasn’t even a disappointment that England suffered a massive defeat by 381 runs.

“It’s absolutely brilliant. It’s a dream come true. It has been on my bucket list of the last 50 years. I can’t praise enough how much I wanted to be here,” Edge told NATIONSPORT

“I am a cricket fan. I like England, I like West Indies. It was just an ideal place to watch a game of cricket.” (HG)
