Jamaica Energy Partners Cricket League

Last year, the JEP Cricket League resumed after 2-year hiatus! The Portmore-based Super Sixers wrapped up a perfect season following a 35-run win over Packers AllStars at the Port Esquivel Sports Club in St. Catherine. The JEP Group anticipates continuing the competition, which promotes teamwork and discipline and aims to allow these youngsters to improve their skills to excel in the local and regional space.

Robotics Competition

During Energy Month, Evergo Jamaica hosted the second staging of its Secondary Schools’ Robotics Competition. York Castle High School claimed first place, dethroning the 2021 victors Jamaica College who came in second place. Third was Calabar High School. This competition, which focuses on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education, challenged senior high school students to learn the fundamentals of robotics, which included programming, control, and design. The students battled for the firstplace title and a cash prize of $125,000. Second place earned $75,000, and third, received $50,000.

Tivoli Gardens Football Club (FC)

WKPP provided financial support to the Tivoli Gardens FC as they sought to win the National Premier League, popularly known as the Red Stripe Premier League.

The funds provided meals and refreshments for the players throughout the competition. The famous football tournament ran from January to July 2022 and featured twelve teams across Kingston & St. Andrew, St. Catherine and Clarendon. WKPP was happy to support the members of the Tivoli Gardens FC since the league also promotes proper sportsmanship and unity among the teams, provides income for the players and their families, and encourages earnings for small and medium business operators.

Blackwood Gardens Sports Day

We were elated to join the Blackwood Gardens Basic School for their Sports Day last year and happily repped for Dr. Bird (red) House. The 2022 staging would have been the school’s first sports day since 2019 due to COVID-19.
