Former warri associate boss Trevor Cranston eyes return to body’s top spot
Former president of the Antigua and Barbuda Warri Association (ABWA),
Trevor Cranston, said that if nominated, he will seek to become head of the organisation once more.
Cranston, who served as president of the body in the early 2000s, said that although he had given thought to the possibility of seeking a return to the post, recent comments by multi-times international warri champion,

Speaking on the Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, Simon credited sitting president Joel Carr for the efforts he has made thus far, but added that the lack of interest shown by members has taken a toll on the advancement of the body.
“One of the challenging things and most difficult thing in Antigua (and I am speaking, not from my warri academy membership but as a member of the warri association) over the years we have had numerous problems when it comes to the membership in terms of being able to get a forum or even to have an AGM, because players seemingly are just interested in turning up when you have a competition and leave the development on the side.
