THERE are some sportsmen who shine in their prime and then gradually fade away with the lame excuse that they are "too old." There are others, however, who regardless of their advancing years, keep plugging away with a fierce determination to lick the age barrier.

It is these men, who deserve the praise. For it is to them that the sporting youth looks up to and finds greater meaning in the word.... sportsmanship.

Now let's fall back to his Erst love cricket,

Spotty started pinying Second Division cricket for Recrelo in 192A. He was picked for his bowling. As I have been told, qulte Spotty himself modestly admits, he Wis a Eroat den faster then than he Is now.

and as

He used to start his delivery with a good 15 or 16 yard run, which he has now cut down to about half the distance. But don't get me wrong, for even now, Spotty is by no means slow and he still has the ability to swing the ball viciously that opposing batsmen are lett dumbfounded as to what stroke to play.

During his long association with the gume he has taken two hat-tricks... was chosen for the interport trials on several occasions and was LA Le Recreio First Division XI that won the Cricket League in the 1035-39 Reason and 1048-49 season.

This year Spotty told me, he will "probably be playing for the Second Division, but I for one would not be surprised to see his name appearing in the First team score book.

Finally, let's take the much criticised game of lawn bowls,

Some find it slow, others find It intriguing and there are stil others who think it is un enure waste of time.

To Spotty however, it is a great game which requires a great deni of atience and practice.

But when I say "finishing touches", I do not mean to even hint that Spotty's sporting career whether it be bowls, cricket or snooker, das reached the end of the road. Not by a long shot. For as long us "there's sport, there will always be a Spotty Pereira.
