Twelve teams battled for Fun Day Athletic Supremacy on Tuesday, May 1, at the Ronald Webster Park in observance of Labour Day 2007. The event created much excitement and serious competition for many workers drawn from government institutions and the private sector including the hotel industry.

The 2007 Labour Day Champions - Legal Fraternity

When it was all over, the team representing the Legal Fraternity captured the Championship Trophy with a score of 79 points. In second place was the National Bank of Anguilla with 73 points; and third was CuisinArt Resort & Spa with 65 points. CuisinArt’s team also had much to celebrate when their Manager, Stephane Zaharia, captured first place in the 60 m dash for the top managers’ race.

As usual, the main event of the day was the tug-o-war in which the Royal Anguilla Police Force overpowered the Fire Department in a very exciting stand-off in the finals.

The other two trophies for the most disciplined team and the largest team went to Cap Juluca.

Cable & Wireless, CompNation and UFO Team

For the past fifteen years Fun Day has been organised by the Anguilla Amateur Athletic Association as the main event for Labour Day, whereby workers can socialise as well as display their athletic talent and perhaps relive some moments from their past school days. It is also a major fund-raising event by the Association to help in the development of athletics in Anguilla.
