No awards this year, but I’m truly honoured to have been nominated once again for Sportswoman of the Year. It was a wonderful evening spent among some of the nation’s finest athletes, ministers, commissioners, administrators, and patrons of sport.

As someone who actively volunteers to help grow chess within Special Education Needs schools, I’m also happy that the Guyana Chess Federation has once again earned the Sportswoman of the Year (Person with Disability) award through the outstanding efforts of Abigail Jairam.
