All twenty-four teams participating in the Milo Under-20 Schools Football Competition received a quantity of footballs courtesy of the Organisers Nestle on Saturday, during a simple ceremony that was conducted at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Each school was given seven footballs by the Company making it a total of 168 for the respective teams which will help to enhance their programmes and preparations for this tournament and others.
Nestle Brand Manager Selwyn Bobb spoke on behalf of the institution, claiming that the presentation was a clear example of the Company’s obligation towards the development of sport.
“Our aim has always been to contribute to sports and this expression and display shows our continued commitment to youth sports and sports in totality”.
PETRA organization Co- Director Marlon Cole speaking at the occasion expressed satisfaction at the schools commitment towards the tournament, adding that the discipline and standard displayed so far was highly commendable.
“We would like to thank the Ministry of Education for allowing the schools to compete in this initiative, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport for helping us with the acquisition of a duty free letter and most importantly the sponsors, Nestle Caribbean by way of Beepats Trading for their unwavering support of this venture.
In partnership with the Ministry of Health, this tournament is a vehicle for the fight against Gender Violence as the teams certainly have played their part and we would like to believe that the little we have done has had a profound effect on the aforementioned cause,” Cole told the gathering.
