ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL

Click to view full size

Significant strides have been made in restoring sporting facilities in western Jamaica, one year after Hurricane Melissa left a trail of destruction. However, considerable work remains before several venues can return to their pre-hurricane condition.

The Montego Bay Sports Complex, Jarrett Park, Wespow Park, and BREDS Sports Park & Academy are at varying stages of restoration. While some facilities are already back in use, others continue to undergo repairs.

Yoni Epstein, leaseholder of the Montego Bay Sports Complex and chairman of Montego Bay United (MBU), said football will return to the facility on December 13.
