Winseena Welcome and Lauren Murphy both Female basketball players finished in the third and fourth positions respectively while Godfrey Smith finished in the fifth position. The other successful participants are Herbert Hoyte, Sheldron Noel, Tamasia Gilbert and Roberta Romain.
Sessions were conducted by FIFA trained Referee Instructor, Lawrence Griffith with able assistance from Lindly Langhorne, Phillip Gibbons, Selwyn Lancaster and FIFA Referee Stanley Lancaster. Facilitators tutored participants on the laws of the game, the importance of teamwork, strategic positioning, the role of the 4th official and techniques applicable to report writing amongst other topics.
As a follow up to the course, the trainees will undergo practical sessions at the MSC Ground under the guidance of qualified FIFA officials in the mining town.
Meanwhile, football activities in the GFF Super League continue tomorrow at the Bartica Community Centre Ground when Liquid Gold enjoys the home advantage to Buxton United.
