Football buffs will remember Frank Watson, former President of the Pele Football Club who died in a plane Crash in Kamarang in 1973. In remembrance of his sterling contribution to the sport, the Pele Alumni in the USA will be organizing an Under-14 and Under-16 football tournament scheduled to get underway tomorrow morning at the Tucville Ground with several preliminary games.

The Under-16 matches follow just after and at 11:00hrs Grove will play GFC followed by the Eagles/Renaissance shindig at 11:30hrs. Conquerors will then play Den Amstel just before Pele play Rhythm squad at 12:00hrs and 12:30hrs respectively.
Activities will gather momentum on February 24 at the Dem Amstel Ground when several top teams compete against each other. Those matches commence at 12:00hrs when Lodge squares off with Wortmanville at 12:30hrs followed by Wales against North Sophia half an hour later.
Thereafter, fans will be entertained with several other matches including De Kindren against South Sophia, Leopold St/Berlin against Crane, Poudroyen versus Mocha, Kuru Kuru versus North East, Goed Fortuin versus Meadowbrook and Den Amstel versus Grove.
The finals will be competed on February 27 when the respective winners of the two categories clash for honours starting at 15:00hrs. On that day also, an All Star Under-14 team will oppose their Under-16 counterparts from 16:00hrs.
Meanwhile, each participating team will receive two footballs while there will be special prizes for the best defensive player, most valuable player, most prolific goal scorer and the best goalie while the winning team and runners up will receive trophies and medals.
