Jamaica

The unassuming Jamaicans did well to find early momentum against the Silver Ferns in the first half with their seasoned attack end - including the might of former Southern Steel shooter Jhanielle Fowler-Reid.

A majority of the New Zealand side had not played Jamaica before last night, having last played them in 2016, and at the end of the first quarter it showed with the score deadlocked at 13 all.

The second stanza saw no player changes at both ends and the Sunshine Girls took advantage by pulling out to a six goal lead.

Doors of the facility that Bob Marley called home before his death in 1981 were flung open to accommodate fans, curious onlookers and just about everybody who want to feast their appetite on his way of living.

That’s what Jamaican singer Charly Black said when asked about how much of dancehall was expected during his performance at The Cosmopolitan in Port Moresby.

For those who don’t know what dancehall is, it is an underground genre that emerged from Jamaica, at least two decades after Roots Reggae.

According to Jamaicanmusic.com, it is often referred to as reggae's ‘rebellious cousin’.

Just like other music genres, it has evolved and redefined over time. And while it is mostly confused to be reggae, Jamaicanmusic.com states that the two are very different.

The event was dubbed 'Salute to a Legend' as eight-time Olympic gold medallist and world-record holder Bolt bade farewell to his compatriots on the track.

Naturally, Bolt won - and in typical style too, bursting clear in the race's final phase - crossing the line in 10.03 seconds, as fireworks greeted the sprinters at the finish.

The 30-year-old will retire after this year's World Championships, looking to swell his collection of 11 gold medals.

Conkarah will perform at The Cosmopolitan in Moresby as the club celebrates its second birthday tonight (Saturday 7 November).

The 28 year old is excited to be here and with his great Jamaican reggae accent, he told the local media that he is looking forward to experiencing  the food and culture.

“I have a fan base in PNG so it’s really good to be able to come here and perform for people who appreciate my music.

“I have toured Europe and have discovered that people on this side of the world appreciate my music more,” said Conkarah.
