In the first ever ‘Guyana Media Games’ sponsored by the Office of the Prime Minister and organised by the National Sports Commission (NSC), the ‘Purple Heart Posse’ took top honours as Guyana’s media operatives downed cameras, pens and keyboards to take part in a day of sports at the Eve Leary Ground in Kingston.
Led by captain Jemima Holmes, Purple Heart Posse, one of six teams named after Guyana’s indigenous trees, captured the 7-a-side football and cricket to shoot clear of the other five teams; Team Jatoba, Bulletwood, Wallaba Knights, Kirukua Titans and Team Green Heart.
