Rescue job under way

St Mary Football Association president, James Pearson, spoke like a man with the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders, upbeat and spritely, announcing this Sunday as the start of the parish’s Major League after agonising in an April 9 Gleaner interview that its cash-strapped football programme could collapse. “They say it’s never too late for a shower of rain,” Pearson exclaimed, confirming that shortly after The Gleaner article appeared, Robert Montague, member of parliament, St Mary Western, rang him up with assistance to get the Major League under way.
