The residents of Point Fortin is now asking the question when will the Mahaica Oval be completed and wants the Ministry of Sport or its agency to come clean with the residents.
Works started on the oval sometime in 2017/18 into 2019, the construction came to a sudden hault today despite being some 45% completed. The construction site remains idle and residents are now seeking answers to thier questions.
Several residents spoke to southsidenewstt expressing their level of sadness. According to one man we spoke too, he said arguable some of the best sports men this country’s produce came from Point Fortin and trained right here at the Oval in some quarters we were the Mecca of sports in Trinidad, “today what a shame!”
The man went on to say I am calling on the Sport’s Ministry to finish the oval and give Point Fortin their primier facility. He went on to says I can recall in the early 60’s late 80’s every sporting team in Trinidad wanted to beat a Point Fortin team so the Whole of Point Fortin would come out to support, that was the glory days man.
Southsidenewstt reached out to the Ministry of Sports in February of this year to find out when the construction will resume on the oval, today despite our calls and email to the Ministry there no answers forthcoming.
