PLP Congratulate Games Athletes & Organisers
Following the conclusion of the 2013 NatWest Island Games, Shadow Sports Minister Michael Weeks congratulated Bermuda’s athletes and the organizers, volunteers and all who worked to make the competition a success.
The week long competition saw over 1,000 athletes from 22 islands compete in 14 different sports. Bermuda finished in second place with a total of 76 medals – 27 gold, 18 silver and 31 bronze.

Mr. Weeks said, “Bermuda’s athletes continue to prove that our little island through hard work, discipline and character can compete on the world stage. We must commend and support all of the athletes who represented us in fine fashion at the NatWest Island Games.
“To our Bermudian medalists, your work has been rewarded, but you must not rest on your laurels. Continue to strive for and work towards greatness in all that you do.
“To the organizers, volunteers and all who worked to make this competition a success, we thank you. This event has benefited not only our athletes, but has also helped to give our economy a slight boost and for that, we are grateful.”
