For the fifth year, young footballers in schools in the New Amsterdam/Canje area will have an opportunity to strut their stuff when the annual Trinidad and Guyana (T&G) Sports Club and Outreach Programme (TGSCOP) U13 Inter Secondary schools football competition is held at the All Saints Scott Church ground in New Amsterdam. The competition will be played in collaboration with the Hearts of Oak Masters Football Club.
Eight schools are slated to take part namely; Vryman’s Erven Secondary School (VESS) Berbice High School (BHS) Berbice Educational Institute (BEI), Vryman’s Erven Secondary School (VESS), Tutorial Academy Secondary (TASS), Canje Secondary School (CSS), New Amsterdam Multilateral School, (NAMS), School of The Nations (SOTN) and for the first time Fort Ordnance from East Canje.
The top team is expected to be presented with the Trinidad and Guyana (T&G) Sports Club and Outreach Programme trophy and 15 gold medals, while the runner up will collect a trophy and 15 silver medals. Trophies and other incentives will also be given to the other participating teams. A number of individual prizes will also be presented including the Most valuable Player Best Striker, Best defender, best midfielder, Best Goalkeeper, most promising player(s), and most goal scorer. Players will be presented with jersey, trunks, shin pads, hoses, boots, balls among other gears.
The competition is sponsored by Isaac Daniel a resident of Trinidad and a regular visitor to Guyana who started to organize the activities some 10 years ago. During his early visits he noticed that there is a lack of organized recreational activities and decided to do something. He started by organizing village games, then nursery school activities. He has pledged to continue doing the activity on a bigger scale in the foreseeable future.
Most of the prizes that are presented are from friends and associates in the twin island republic. Daniel noted that the group also provided TV sets for the Nursery Schools.
The matches will be played on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13, Monday 19th, Tuesday20th, Monday 26th, Wednesday 28th with the final set for Friday 30th. President of TGSCOP is June Britton.
Coordinator of the event, former national player Neil ‘Grizzly’ Humphrey, noted that the tournament serves as a stepping stone for young players. He thanked the sponsor for coming on board and the schools for agreeing to take part in the tournament. Kick off time each afternoon is 14:00 hrs. (Samuel Whyte)
