The Warri Revival Continues! The official results of the inaugural Ministry of Creative Industries, and Education Inter-School Warri Championship are in!
Winner- Dimitri Riley (Sir Novelle Richards Academy)
2nd Place Genesis Daniel (Pares Primary School)
3rd Place Owen Williams (Antigua Grammar School)
Along with championship trophies for their schools, each of the top three winners also received their own personal Warri Boards to commemorate their win.
On February 28th, at the John S. E Conference Centre, you could not find a smile or grin on the face of the Inter-school Warri Championship competitors. “Warri-ors” came from primary and secondary schools, both public and private, to participate in the Championship—a celebration of heritage, strategy, and community spirit.
Encouraging and passionate speeches were made prior to the start of the games. This one was for the history books, our culture, the resilience of our forbearers, the Warri Revival Program living on. Rules of the game were explained.
Still no grin, no smile, nor any sort of friendly expression on the competitors’ faces. The youths had not come for any “long talking”. They had come to battle it out on the UNESCO ICH-sponsored Warri boards.
And battle it out they did up to the Finals! See below the faces adorned with determination, seriousness, and I-already-know-where-my-school-will-put-the-trophyness!
What’s next? The Warri Revival Continues!
