I see that we are bickering really over the definition of " gang". You don't want to call it a gang, but for us it was. If you were from Middle Region you could not be in the Sucker garden gang. But I agree that it had nothing to do with the gangs of today.
In Marigot , there were 3 gangs or whatever you may call them. The St.James gang, the Sandy Ground, and the Galisbay 's.
If you remember, what they call Sandy Ground today, didn't exist then. Sandy Ground was everything between the Methodist Church and the cemetery. Because of the lagoon that existed between Sandy Ground and St.James, most of the fights were naval battles, that very often ended up with a swim in the pond (as we called it back then).
You don't recall hearing about those gangs, maybe because there was no media coverage of our antics in those days.
Next time you see Tall boy, ask him about this.
