Hilbert Foster, Secretary/CEO of the club commenting, noted that over the years, they have not placed a lot of emphasis on the world’s most popular game for many reasons, but the hosting of this tournament would mark the revival of that policy.

The teams will be captained by Troy Paul, Trevor Sampson, Junior Ross and Benjamin Harry with the winner set to receive a trophy named after Leon Wiggins, the first treasurer of the RHTY&SC and a former football coordinator. Wiggins would hand over the prizes at the conclusion of the tournament.
Foster indicated that he would be closely monitoring the attitude and discipline of the players during the tournament with a view of deciding the club’s role in further investment in football.
He noted that the club was willing to assist football but only in an atmosphere of discipline and commitment. The four competing teams are:
Team A – Troy Paul, Leroy Hashley, D Delroy Adams, Kevin Paul.
Team B – Trevor Sampson, Anathony Ramalha, Tyran Hasley, Shaquille Batson and Samuel Khan.
