The Walaba activity which was held at Banse last Sunday was a smasher. Hundreds of Walaba fans and supporters of Love Fm gathered in that community to unveil the commencement of the LoveFm/Piton beer Walaba Competition.
This Sunday February 12, 2012 the competition continues at Piaye from 10:00 am. More teams are expected to register as the competition has generated much interest throughout the island.
Teams like the Balca male team as well as Piaye will be filling in teams.
It is hoped that the competition will start on time since during last Sunday's encounter a few matches had to be restricted to few balls than initially agreed upon.
Also in Piaye spectators will be treated to a higher degree of competition because of a larger field.
One will remember the penetrating voice and the humour of one of the commentators affectionately known as Gilo, who hails from Banse.
Sunday one can look forward to a higher degree of fun, entertainment as well as promotion trinkets from the sponsors.
