Teams from West Demerara, Berbice and the Scotiabank/Pepsi All Stars Team will compete in this competition. According to the GSDF, it is hoped that this tournament will be held annually. A few other associations were invited but they opted out for various reasons.
Meanwhile, the West Demerara Football Association has named 16 players with an average age of 14 to participate in the tourney.
The West siders will be led by the trio of Keshanna Hunte, Keshell Moore and Jimacie Petty who donned national colours at the Under-17 level in 2001, Petty being 11 years-old at the time. They were part of 10 girls that were sent to trials at the time.
Hunte has since migrated to the USA where she continues to excel academically and in the sport and is an integral part of her High School football team.
Mariah Clarke, Shamika Wallerson and Shauntay Carroll joined the team this year and have been developing steadily. Three of the younger players in the West Demerara Programme, 10-year-old Aliyah LaRose, 10-year-old Tiandi Smith and 9-year-old Shauntay Carroll are the Lady Jags for the future.
While the inclement weather has been posing some challenges for the team’s preparations, the girls have been using the Uitvlugt School compound to get in valuable sessions.
The West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) in an effort to develop the female game will stage Primary and Secondary School tournaments in the New Year.
Following is the list of players selected by the WDFA for this Sunday’s tourney.
