Grenada’s premier youth athletic competition, the Nexa-GUT National Primary School Games, concluded with spectacular performances on March 4-5, 2026, following weeks of intense parish-level competitions that commenced on February 5. The national finals showcased exceptional young talent from across the island, highlighting both competitive excellence and outstanding sportsmanship.
St Andrew Parish emerged victorious with 611 points, securing their record-extending 30th championship title in the event’s history. While this year’s winning total fell two points short of their 2025 achievement, it proved sufficient to maintain their dominance. St George Parish captured second position, with St Patrick Parish rounding out the top three.
The event represents the third successful year of collaboration between Nexa Credit Union and the Grenada Union of Teachers (GUT), demonstrating their shared commitment to youth development through athletic excellence. This partnership provides young athletes with foundational skills and potential pathways toward Olympic aspirations.
During the opening ceremony, Nexa Credit Union General Manager Retesha Smith-Boyd emphasized the games’ significance: ‘The Nexa-GUT National Primary School Games represent a celebration of talent, teamwork, discipline and the bright promise of our nation’s children.’ The credit union extended appreciation to educators, volunteers, and spectators whose contributions ensured the event’s success.
The games continue to serve as a vital platform for nurturing Grenada’s athletic talent while fostering parish pride and community engagement across the island. Nexa Credit Union encourages public support for these developing athletes at both branch and national levels.
