After two years and a hefty investment tag of $351 million in renovations, the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) unofficially reopened its doors just under two weeks ago, hosting a few matchdays of the National Futsal competition and the Elton Dharry versus Randy Ramirez

Pro-Am Boxing card.

While a previous assessment done by this publication found a few positives, a capacity crowd on Friday last (January 3) which witnessed the grand finale of the Kashif and Shanghai-organised National Futsal competition, exposed flaws in the highly touted upgrades. Notably, President Irfaan Ali, Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water Susan Rodrigues, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr were all in attendance.
