The Mark Sutton Foundation in collaboration with the Melanie Tritons Sports and Culture Club will be hosting its third annual Mark Sutton’s Seven-a-side Knockout Football Competition, better known as ‘Take it Competition’ August 3-5 at the Melanie playfield.
The three days annual event is kept in honour of Mark Anthony Sutton who passed away on May 24 in 2009 while playing his favorite sport, football on the playfield.

The tournament will kick off on August 3 at 10am with the under-15 teams along the East Coast. At stake for this category is the Mark Sutton trophy and prizes.
Participating teams will be placed in two groups with the winners and runner-ups moving to the quarter finals and finals on August 4 and 5 respectively.
The competition also fields a female match as women’s football is on the verge of developing in the country. The female players will receive prizes and certificates of participations. At stake will be US$300 ($60,000.00) for the ‘Take it’ segment of the competition. This segment is for the senior male teams. All FIFA rules are in effect for the competition.
