Rosignol Out, Pius In
Petra-Court Optical Pee Wee U11 Football Championship…
Kaieteur Sports – Unexpectedly, Rosignol Primary School, which made headlines last weekend, will no longer be able to participate in the Courts Optical Under-11 Schools Football Championship, currently hosted by the Petra Organisation. This decision comes after it was discovered that the team fielded an ineligible player in the 2024 tournament.
St Pius Primary (in stripes) returns to 2024 Pee Wee championship after ineligibility probe findings.
As a result, defending champions St. Pius Primary School, who initially exited the competition in last week’s quarterfinals after a 4-0 defeat to the Rosignol team, have been reinstated for the latter stages of the 2024 championship.
In a press release, the Petra Organisation stated: “We wish to inform that there will be a change to the semifinal fixtures for the Courts Optical Under-11 Pee-Wee Schools’ football tournament scheduled for this Saturday, October 26, at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown. Semifinal 2, which originally had Marian Academy set to face Rosignol Primary, will now feature defending champions St. Pius Primary against Marian Academy due to Rosignol Primary’s fielding of ineligible players in last week’s quarterfinal.
Meanwhile, the semifinal 1 matchup between Santa Rosa Primary and Belladrum Primary remains unchanged.”
With a second chance at making it to the finals, the St. Pius team is gearing up for a thrilling return this Saturday, hoping to regain momentum against a strong Marian Academy squad.
