The eagerly anticipated Petra Organisation- organised Courts Pee Wee Schools Football Competition is set to kick-off today with twelve matches, at the Thirst Park ground.
Co-Director of Patra Organisation Troy Mendonca speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday said that he expects an even higher level of skills to be on display this year as compared to last year when the tournament made its revival after a brief break.
According to Mendonca, the Organisers along with the support of sponsor Courts (Guyana) Inc. in seeking to lift the all-round standard of the tournament in collaboration with the Guyana Football Coaches Association recently conducted a two-day Beginners Coaching Workshop which taught teachers and other interested persons the rudiments of the game.
Mendonca disclosed that shortly before the commencement of the first round of matches there will be a March Past of the twenty-four teams slated to participate in the tournament and high ranking officials from Courts (Guyana) Inc. and the Petra Organisation are expected to meet the teams.
Meanwhile, in the first game of the day, defending champions Marian Academy battles East La Penitence on pitch #1, while St. Margaret’s square off against Green Acres on pitch #1, starting at 10:30 hrs.
In the next double header, Redeemer engages Sophia, while St. Ambrose and Enterprise lock horns from 11:20 hrs.
The third set of matches will see Tucville and Winfer Gardens face off, while South Ruimveldt and West Field round out the engagements starting at 12:10 hrs.
In the fourth round of matches, St. Angela’s is drawn to play Ketley, but word from the Organisers has confirmed that the latter will not participate in the tournament and a replacement is being sought. In the other game, F.E. Pollard and Success is paired to play each other at 13:00 hrs.
West Ruimveldt tackles Stella Maris and that will be followed by the clash between St. Gabriel’s and St. Stephen’s at 13:50 hrs and in the final set of matches for the day, North Georgetown play J.E. Burnham to be followed by the encounter between St. Sidwell’s and St. Pius from 14:00 hrs.
