October 3 takes us back to another chapter in the sporting story of Seychelles

 Through the years, the pages of the Seychelles NATION have captured countless moments from the sporting life of the islands, from memorable performances and hard-fought contests to the emergence of new talents, the achievements of established stars and the work of the people behind the scenes.
