Milo Tournament good build up for ours – Hope

Feb 09, 2013 Sports

In an effort to better understand the impact and importance the current Nestle Milo / Petra Organisation Under-20 Schools Football Tournament is having on the sport’s landscape, Kaieteur Sport recently posed a few questions to Digicel’s Events & Sponsorship Manager Gavin Hope for his own thoughts about the competition.
Digicel as many would know usually stages the biggest Annual Football Tournament which involves schools throughout the length and breadth of the country and has become the most popular football event at the junior level where over 140 academic institutions battle for supremacy.
Here are the questions posed and Hope’s responses below:
KS – What are your general thoughts on the Milo tournament?
GH – This is a good build up to our tournament. It is giving the children the opportunity to play more together and to build team spirit. In the six games that I saw, the standard exhibited was reasonably high and seemed to be improving.
KS – Digicel has its own tournament scheduled to start later this year. What impact do you think this tournament will have on yours?
GH – Due to the additional competitions, this will definitely benefit the schools and players since they now have the opportunity to improve their game both on and off the field, especially those in the North Georgetown area. They are gaining confidence and a better understanding of the game all the while and this will positively impact our tournament.
KS – Do you believe it will improve the standard of play by the time your tournament is ready for kick off?
GH – Yes, definitely, I have seen some former national players assisting schools with their preparation which is commendable.
KS – Judging from what you’ve witnessed to date, have you seen ways in which you could improve your tournament?
GH – Yes, I commend Milo for not just having the boys play football, but pushing a positive message simultaneously. This is an area that we have to pay keen attention to. They are many social ills that we can highlight, especially in the area of drugs use.
KS – Have you thought about ways in which you could improve the standard of play among some of the schools?
GH – First, the schools administration needs to support games and sports in general. Corporate Guyana cannot assist without the support of the schools administration and parents.
