Director of Petra Organisation, Marlan Cole in a brief analysis of the Milo Under-20 Schools Football Tournament expressed satisfaction with the response seen so far.
Cole, who along with Co-Director Troy Mendonca is responsible for organising the competition, told this newspaper that they are extremely satisfied with the support being given by the sponsor, teachers, students and fans.
“What we’ve seen to date is commendable and it augurs well for the development of the sport, while the enthusiasm and discipline displayed by the players are also high points in the tournament so far,” Cole noted.
He pointed to the move made by students of Bishop’s High, who organised themselves independently which according to him was a real surprise to them, but a development that he felt illustrated their level of maturity and something which they admired.
Cole also spoke of the punctuality of the teams at their games as another encouraging feature in the tournament to date and he urged all the participating teams to continue in the same vein so that the sponsor and organisers will be confident to do it again in the future.
Commenting on the turnout witnessed so far, Cole said that every week has enjoyed larger crowd and he is optimistic that as the tournament progresses the fans will increase, especially with the current support being offered by the media.
The Petra Organisation Director was high in praise of the Ministry of Health for promoting Gender Based Violence awareness against women, using the sport to spread their message which is read by the competing captains shortly before the start of each match.
Cole lauded the support given by the groundstaff at the Ministry of Education ground, while the support of the match officials (referees) also came in for commendation.
He further informed that they are working assiduously to get regional coverage for the Tournament via Sports Max, while the granting of two Scholarships for players who excelled at the CXC is also engaging their attention.
In closing, Cole recognised the invaluable support and sponsorship received from Nestle’s Caribbean under the Milo brand and their local distributor Beepat’s limited, while the execution of the organisational capabilities of the Petra Staff has been noted as well.
