St. Aloysius Primary is U-13 Primary Schools Football champs
The future of football looks encouraging for those in the New Amsterdam/Canje area. This was after one week of keenly contested football in the AMILCO Inter Secondary School U-13 football tournament which was played recently at the All Saints Scott Church ground.
At the end of the week it had to take a count back on the goal averages to decide on the winner after three schools ended the competition with the same amount of points.
The schools locked on nine points were St. Aloysius Primary, All Saints Primary and St. Theresa Primary with three wins and one loss each. In the end the lads representing St Aloysius were declared the winners with a superior goal average. All Saints placed second after their average was better than St. Theresa who finished third with Overwinning occupying the fourth spot.
Results of the competition saw St. Aloysius Primary winning from N/A Primary 4-0, St. Theresa 1-0 and Overwinning 1-0, but lost to All Saints 0-1. All Saints also scored victories over N/A Primary 2-0, Overwinning 3-1, losing to St. Theresa 0-1. ST Theresa for their part also won from Overwinning 2-0 and N/A Primary 1-0.
At the presentation ceremony which followed immediately after the last game, Sean Steal of N/A Primary was named the most promising player. The best goalkeeper was William Samuel of St. Theresa Primary and the MVP of the tournament Alex Overton of St. Aloysius, who also copped the most goals award scoring for scoring four. The best defender was Daniel Joseph and the best midfield player Gevon Shultz.
The competition, which was sponsored by the AMILCO Company in New Amsterdam, was coordinated by Neil ‘Grizzly’ Humphrey.
In brief remarks at the presentation ceremony, Coordinator Neil ‘Grizzly’ Humphrey congratulated the teams for putting on a good show. He had special words of commendation for the winners. He also told the youngsters to continue training and take in their education seriously and have good discipline and they will definitely go a far way. He told them that it, “it is not only about winning, what is also important is how you play the game.” He challenged them to start thinking about playing for Guyana as they are many opportunities available.
