ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, April
20, 2026 — Founder and head coach of Momentum Track and Field (MTF) in St
Mark, Denva Welsh has thrown his support behind the idea of establishing a
national club championships in Grenada, describing it as a timely initiative to
strengthen the sport’s development.
Welsh, speaking on the TalkSports
programme last Saturday, welcomed the concept of a competition exclusively for
clubs, noting that the growth of track and field programmes across the island
makes such an event both relevant and necessary.
“I think that is something that
should be exciting and interesting,” Welsh said. “There are a lot of clubs in
Grenada at this point, and something like that could further increase
participation in athletics.”
The MTF coach believes that national
club championships could serve as an important platform for identifying
emerging talent, while also providing athletes with additional competitive
opportunities beyond the traditional school-based structure.
“We could go on to identify
athletes who can move on to becoming top regional and international
competitors,” he added.
Welsh emphasised that the
initiative would not only enhance competition among clubs but also contribute
to the overall growth and visibility of athletics in Grenada.
“I like the idea, I support it,
and it’s something we would definitely look forward to in the future,” he said.
