What ever happen to this school's football team? Anybody knows? Any posters went to this school? Just an observation but like it have more ex-college boys on this site than anyone else (no offence intended)
-
I didn't go to Belmont but am from there. I played against the LaForest brothers, in my time...The coach of that time was Rugged Tom, who eventually was one of my coaches in Canada. My team was QRC.
I am also curious as to their situation today, in the scheme of Northern School football.

First of all, de school is no longer known as Belmont Intermediate, it is now called Belmont Secondary. Here is an article that discusses the school's football team: Belmont Battalion is back (http://www.guardian.co.tt/archives/2004-12-17/SA-7.html)

Thanks for the helpful info Tallman. You are like a human encyclopedia. Actually, I know it is now known Belmont Secondary, as it was also called that when I left in the mid 80's. That team of the mid 70's was class!! I wonder what ever became of dem fellas!
-
Thanks as usual TallMan...Sounds like a very organized program....hmmmnn
-
I'm not sure what is going on with this school but ah know dey always have ah problem maintaining a good seasoned crop of players . The last time they did well was 1992 when they went on and win the north zone and intercol championships. They lost out to malick ah tink in the big four that year .
I know this as I attended Belmont for five years and was there to see the improvement in that 3 year programme which they topped off things with that big year in 92 . It seems that they go for long term progression instead of the one hit wonder as I saw in Tallman's post that they working on a five year plan.
This school doh really have ah footballing or sporting history ( except for ah few sporting hearoes like Ian Bishop, Dem biking boys dat ah cyar remember now Green and some other names ) so there was never an emphasis on sports as academics is there single and most interest. Everything thing else is just recreational . I won't be surprised if they come with ah bomb squad in ah two or three years though.

-
Darin lewis was a very good footballer-complete palyer dribble, pass, finish, creative. believe he old man was steve david or steve pierre one of them past great legends-so good pedigree. how he not in the national team pool is weird-he must have lost it.
he was that belmont team, hands down he make all them fellas better.

-
Fordy you went Trinity and play against Big Bird and dem?
If that is de case we know each odder den.
-
Darin hold tings in dey but Marvin Joseph was de main marksman for belmont back den...Darin tek over when he leave.
Yeah yeah ah hear u fordy. In my books Colin should ah mek ah lil National team if he was to continue de trade eh, But so it goes for ah lot ah fellas back home (de 'what if' factor).
-

u played with belmont? what year?
-
Ah never played for dem but ah was ah real supporter back den.
-
Belmont Inter/ Second. had a sporting history in Football, Track and Basketball. I am referring to the mid to late 60's. I know, cause my cousins went there, and I played ball, and ran against them regularly. Isn't that historical ? Tallman's article can also attest to that.
In Northern games, only 2 high schools were ever invited to participate against the major track & field clubs of the time, Belmont, and QRC.

How alyuh could forget alyuh national team player Anton pierre.

-
Mr. King ? Da was ah serious teacher but cool person.
-
Savannah Boy, Deon Sosa was OK, but I remember best for the nice sister he had!! I saw Albert King last year in the savannah jogging. De man looking the same as he did 20 years ago!!!
-
wait rudder was he nicknamed SABA or somethign weird like that.

man was a good player. just was around when belmont was having lean times.
mid 80's if this is in fact the same rudder.
-

Tallman yuh is ah Trojan yes. Dat is jes a few ballers known from de St. Ann's/Belmont Area from dat one school.
-
sosa was a decent player that could have been better but i agree that the sister Nicole was a gem.
-
Savannah...Saba is in the DC area...coaching and taking ah knock every so offen
-
SABA- tha man coulda dribble and he had to cause he had no help it was him alone nothing otherwise in them years. one man show. which is probably why they get some serious licks that yr.
remember he post up a fatima defender then step over and flick back clean through the legs run around collect. i bawl never forget that. in the end belmont still lose so tha beat amounted for absolutely nothing but t was a gem.
the man was good
Tongue he in the US was he up here on scholarship before.
he probably the top 3 belmont players i see in my time
with daryn lewis and fella named wendell parreria i believe his name was.
but wendell around when belmont in 2nd div. again no help.
-
Wendell was ah descent balla ......he was meh classmate fuh some years well and we never see eye to eye back den ............he wanted to challenge meh nuff time but ah use to jes tun an walk way....lol . Back den man use to real tussle fuh stripes an ting.
-
funny yuh say that from when i knew him he used to talk a lot. but he was a good youth. former youth national player too, just came around when belmont was down.
nowadays he woulda transfer to qrc to play ball :devil:
-
school days was nice days oui.........u look back at dem times an jus smile! ;D
-
Thanks fuh de update Tongue...nice to hear de Saba still involved. Dat fella coulda dribble boy. Nuff joy to watch.
-
Yeah...let we go dey...anybody know where Nicole Sosa end up? She was going out with a baller and cricketer from St. Anthony's name Sean Crichlow (Shaka padnah) den ah never hear about she.
-
Man, that flag brings back butterflies to my belly and tears of joy to my eyes..... school days were really happy days. What about the goalie they use to call pretty pig. Was there in the early seventies, he was absolutely amazing.
