Grenadian and British athletes throwing the javelin

Grenada's Junior CARIFTA athletes will test their readiness for competition when they compete against a British school on Tuesday at the National Stadium.

The Oakham School which includes track and field athletes, footballers and netballers arrived here on Thursday for warm weather training.

The 38-member group is among a number of English schools to visit Grenada.

Shrewsbury School just completed a two-week visit which included seven cricket matches around the island. A group of cricketers from Dulwich College also arrived here this week and three other colleges are expected here in July.

Meantime, the CARIFTA team goes into camp this week-end ahead of the CARIFTA Games next weekend.

The camp is sponsored by the Ministry of Sports. The team leaves Grenada on Thursday April 17 and returns on April 22.
