Twelve schools participated in the tournament which will be held every year.
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC:
THE 2005 Caribbean Sport Medicine Association Congress here this weekend at the Cascadia Hotel, St Anns, will be dedicated to the association's late President Elizabeth 'Liz' Robinson.
Robinson, a Jamaican physiotherapist, was President of the Caribbean Sports Medicine Association (CSMA) at the time of her untimely death in February following a brief illness.
"She was hailed as a standard bearer in the field of sports medicine and a live wire in the Jamaican and Caribbean sports medicine fraternity," a CSMA release stated late Thursday.
A founding member of the Jamaican Association of Sports Medicine, Robinson worked with every sport in Jamaica and most of the island's major sporting stars.
At her funeral, Liz Robinson was eulogised as the most gracious, unselfish and warm-hearted physiotherapist and human being to ever grace Jamaican sports.
The three-day CSMA Congress started yesterday and ends tomorrow.
