The English verses The French at the M.I.A.G.E (Meeting International Des Antilles-Guyane Espoirs)

M.I.A.G.E. (pronounced Mi-ah-ge) originated with three French clubs, one from French Guiana (L’U.S.L.M. PACOUSSINES), Guadeloupe (LES DAUPHINS DU MOULE) and Martinique (LONGVILLIERS CLUB). St. Lucia signed on and hosted the 16th MIAGE thru Hurricanes and Trident Swim Clubs in 2005. These two St. Lucian Clubs are no longer in existence therefore, SLAF took up the initiative to rejoin the grouping by becoming signatory to the MIAGE agreement, signed in 2018.
