Berbice High School intensifies preparations

Berbice High school is in the Digicel Nationwide Schools Football Tournament to win it, according to Manager and Physical Education teacher, Zahir Moakan.
Speaking via telephone yesterday, Moakan said that the squad of twenty-five have been in training for close to three months and has even had participated in two tournaments.
According to Moakan, the squad has participated in the National Aids Programme Secretariat (NAPS) and the Daniel Singh Memorial Tournaments.
Those competitions he said gave the squad a chance to test their skill level in preparation for the much anticipated Digicel Schools Tournament which is scheduled to start in the middle of June.
“The boys are dedicated as hell and they understand what this competition means for them,” he stated.
The team he informed did not win the NAPS tournament and as such they are working hard to ensure that they win this competition. The Digicel Schools Tournament he added is being viewed as ‘a make up tournament’.
Moakan pointed out that they have the full support of their head teacher Jennifer Rollins, who he indicated tries her best to ensure that the boys have everything they need to be fully prepared. “Last year we were out in the round of sixteen and she expects us to do great things this year”.
The squad of twenty-five comprises students from, 2nd to 5th forms, but according to Moakan, the final selection which will be done shortly is anticipated to be dominated by fourth and fifth formers.
“We were a little sceptical about selecting fifth formers as they are preparing for exams and as such their practice times are limited”. He however, said that the fourth formers are attached to football clubs and the Coach Neil Humphrey has worked out a schedule with them since they are still involved in training with their respective clubs.
Humphrey he noted is a former national player, who has been working hard to ensure that the players have the required amount of training sessions and practice matches to get them ready for the tournament.
Humphrey, according to Moakan was instrumental in preparing the students to compete in the two warm-up tournaments.
