When I think of camaraderie, I think of Cable Bahamians’ love for Sports Day. What kind of love, you may ask? Well, the kind that says, “Hey, let’s fly out some team members to Grand Bahama to make sure we have all the support we need and put our best foot forward from day one.”

It wasn’t one team or two. Supporting Nassau team members were on the earliest flight to Grand Bahama, ready for action. The trash talk started before we even cleared passports and carried straight onto the field. And yet, I dare say camaraderie was at its finest.

Though we championed our respective purple, yellow, and red teams, the Fearless and Mighty Falcons, the Sharks, and the Fiery Dragons, it was a beautiful sight to see everyone supporting each race and giving credit and praise where it was due no matter the color shirt they wore.

When I spoke with the GB captains, they all shared hopeful remarks about ending up on top. But of course, we know the number one spot can belong to only one team.

Falcons GB Team Captain Olivia McIntosh noted early in the competition that the team was performing strongly after securing first place in both Tug of War and the Lime and Spoon race. She expressed full confidence that the Falcons would continue to dominate across categories throughout the day.

Captain of the Sharks, Marvin Bridgewater, was a man of few words when he declared, “The Sharks came to win. It’s Shark season.” Just like that, the Sharks backed up the talk, taking home the highest points this go round at the GB Sports Day.

We were unable to catch up with the Dragons prior to the events, but we did connect afterward and they had plenty to say.

“I’ve never come last a day in my life,” Dragons GB Captain Raheem Laramore noted in disappointment. He added that his expectation for Nassau is simple. Reclaim what they lost in GB. After finishing at the top last year, the question now is how do the Dragons bounce back from third place?

Looking back at the trash talk, the Falcons and Dragons definitely brought the noise. But in the end, only one team consistently backed up the talk by placing first and second across multiple races.

Preliminary Scores

· Sharks 364

· Falcons 360

· Dragons 332

The next Sports Day is set for March 21, 2026, so be sure to come out and support your team as they fight for the winning spot this year.

Who will it be? Dragons, Falcons, or Sharks?

We will find out March 21.
