  Asafa Powell said he is recovering well after suffering a hamstring injury in Australia late last month, however, he is still uncertain about whether or not he will recover in time for the May 4 Jamaica International Invitational, to be held inside the National Stadium. Organisers never confirmed the sprinter, but according to him, it was certainly a meet he was looking forward to competing at. Powell, a two-time world 100m bronze medallist, is already back in training at the University of Technology-based MVP Track Club, but the 30-year-old said he his exercising patience concerning his return to the track. “The recovery is coming on quite well, I’m getting better very fast. I didn’t think it (injury) was anything serious but it turned out to be a bit more serious than I thought, but it still wasn’t an injury to keep me out for weeks. I’m back in training right now actually,” Powell told The Gleaner.     Eager to make a return The sprinter said that he started the year eager to make a return to the Jamaica International Invitational, after being forced to pull out last year from an expected clash with Usain Bolt because of a […]

Asafa Powell Still Has Appeal – Agent

  He brands himself as the ‘Sub-10 King’ these days and no one can dispute it, as he has posted a record 88 sub-10 seconds marks in the 100 metres. But with seemingly non-stop injury problems and failure to win an individual medal since his 100m bronze at the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Berlin, the question was asked: is Asafa Powell losing his appeal on the international circuit? According to his agent, Paul Doyle, Powell remains a big name on the circuit, and while there are some concerns from race promoters about his constant injury issues, his client still has a lot to offer. “Is he (Powell) losing his appeal? No, not yet; of course there is some concern when we do deals with meets and people ask if he is going to show up healthy or if he is going to finish the race healthy, but a lot of athletes have that issue,” said Doyle during a recent chat with The Gleaner in Eugene, Oregon. “But he is still a very big name in the sport and still a very much sought-after athlete,” Doyle underlined. Powell, who celebrated his 30th birthday last November, has had his high points […]

Starkville, Miss.,– With Mississippi State only losing one player from this season’s team, the Bulldogs inked one of the best golfers in Jamaica to strengthen an already talented 2013-2014 club. Johnny Newnham, who attends St. Andrews High School in Boca Raton, Fla., played his junior and senior seasons in the Sunshine State. The senior was named a Florida first team All-state member in 2012. “We are very proud to have Johnny Newnham join the Bulldog golf family,” Coach Clay Homan said. “Johnny is a fine young man with a bright future ahead of him. He has a tremendous amount of power and will only get better as his short game improves.” Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Newnham has a long list of accomplishments for the island nation. He was the youngest player to be named to the Jamaican national team at the age of 13. Newnham was also the youngest player to compete at the British junior open at the ripe old age of 11. Newnham is also a five-time member of the Jamaican National Team and a two-time Caribbean Amateur Champion. At the Constant Springs Golf Course in 2008, Newnham turned in a 63 to set the Jamaican course’s record. […]

  1980 Bob Marley visited Brazil in preparation for a world tour. The visit was merely a scouting mission for the tour that would be happening the following year. It was a visit that would see the worlds of reggae, Brazilian music and football collide. After taking a stop in Manaus Bob headed to Rio de Janeiro where his primary aim was to play football, and if you are a musician wanting to play football in Rio de Janeiro there is only one place to go; Chico Buarque‘s private football pitch. The teams for the session were: Team A – Bob Marley, Junior Marvin (member of the Wailers), Paulo César Caju (member of the Brazil 1970 squad), Toquinho (Brazilian musician), Chico Buarque and Jacob Miller (lead singer of Inner Circle) Team B – Alceu Valença (Brazilian musician), Chicão (member of Jorge Ben’s band) and four staff from Island Records PHOTO: Back: Junior Marvin, Toquinho e um penetra.

Jamaica’s Under-17 footballers drops out of the CONCACAF FIFA Under-17 Championship after they were beaten 4-2 by Canada in the quarter-finals in Panama yesterday. The young Reggae Boyz were aiming for a semi-final place which would have given them automatic qualification to the FIFA Under-17 World Cup later this year in the United Arab Emirates. Jamaica went ahead twice in the game, as they led 2-1 at half-time but the confident Canadians dominated the second half and in the process scored three times. Khallil Stewart, who had an outstanding game for Jamaica, netted both goals for the junior Reggae Boyz in the fifth and 44th minutes. Andrew Gordon, led the way for Canada, with a double in the 38th and 75th minutes. Hanson Boakai (61st) and Jordan Hamilton (79th) were the other scorers for the the Canadians. [column2] [/column2] [column2_last] [/column2_last] The speedy and skilful Stewart gave the Wendell Downswell-coached Jamaicans a dream start when he burst inside the 18 yards box to fire home from close range. However, the Jamaican defenders were caught napping in the 38th minute, as Gordon arrived at the back post to head home from inside the six-yard box.   SLIM ADVANTAGE Stewart restored the […]

[column2] [/column2] [column2_last] [/column2_last] LA CHORREA, Panama — Barbados twice rallied from one-goal deficits to register 2-2 draw with Jamaica in a Group A game of the 2013 CONCACAF Under-17 Championship at Estadio Agustin Muquita Sanchez on Monday night. The tie kept both Caribbean teams alive for a quarterfinal berth. The Barbadians (0-0-1, one point) can book a spot in the knockout round with a victory over host Panama (0-0-1, one) on Wednesday night. The Reggae Boyz (0-0-2, two) can advance if either team wins. The top two teams in each group reaches the quarterfinals. In a lively and entertaining first half in which defense seemed to be a forgotten craft at times, both sides attacked freely and often, keeping both goalkeepers on their toes. The Jamaicans dominated the early minutes and quite fittingly drew first blood in the seventh minute, converting a counterattack some 19 seconds ater goalkeeper Nicholas Nelson saved a Barbados shot. Raffique Bryan raced into the penalty area, beat two defenders and chipped keeper Keon Harding from 12 yards for a 1-0 Jamaica advantage.   The goal seemed to wake Barbados up from its slumber as it mounted several offensive attacks. The Caribbean side came close […]

LA CHORRERA, Panama – Miliciades Molina scored in second-half stoppage time to give host Panama a 1-1 draw with nine-man Jamaica on Saturday in the Group A opener for each at the 2013 CONCACAF Under-17 Championship. The late equalizer thrilled the capacity crowd at the Estadio Agustin “Muquita” Sanchez, but disappointed the young Reggae Boyz, who nearly held on for victory despite ending the encounter two players short. In front of its home supporters, Panama attacked from the opening whistle. Within 59 seconds, Luis Zuñiga attempted a bold bicycle kick that did not land far from its intended target.   In the 25th minute, a Zuñiga strike from 30-yards out fell to the feet of an unmarked Ismael Diaz inside the Jamaican box. The 15-year-old turned and shot. His effort from 12 yards, however, was well saved by goalkeeper Nicholas Nelson. The Canaleros would regret that miss 15 minutes later, as Junior Flemmings netted from the penalty spot to give the visitors a 1-0 lead, after Micahel Seaton was taken down by Felix General. Panama showed no signs of letdown, starting the second half robustly. After breaking into the Jamaican box alone, Ismael Diaz would have equalized in the 54th […]
