THE Scotiabank Junior Monarch Finals started off last night at Kensington Oval at a hot pace, with the youngsters competing in the 8-12 category.
With eight vying for the crown, there was no defending monarch as last year’s winner Dynamo has graduated to the 13-18 category.
With topics covering respect for elders, celebrating the country’s 50th year of Independence, recession problems, among others, the competition was fierce as the young ones came with their well thought out presentations.
