Dale Clarke still wants to see one of his many dreams for road tennis realised with a home for the indigenous sport.
Clarke, whose Professional Road Tennis Association (PRTA) has transformed the face of road tennis over the past decade with lucrative prize money, including cars to the men’s and women’s champions, has reiterated an earlier call for a home for the sport.
“We should have a permanent home and that is something that made me smile. I remember earlier this year, the Minister [of Sport Stephen Lashley] was saying that they had invested $500 000 into road tennis. It would’ve been fantastic if you could’ve gotten half of that to give us an indoor home, just a start and then build on it,” Clarke told NATION SPORT in a recent interview.
He noted that the smooth flow of the recent Barbados Public Workers’ Cooperative Credit Union’s Monarchs Of The Court at the makeshift Big Rock Arena on Spring Garden Highway was affected as a number of days had to be rescheduled due to rain. (EZS)
