Building on last year’s collaboration, Sterling Products Limited has again come on board the ‘Courts Optical’ Under-11 Pee-Wee Schools Football tournament.
Now in its 10th edition, the tournament is set to get underway tomorrow, Saturday, September 23rd, with Sterling Products’ support in cash and kind being a timely one.
In a simple presentation ceremony held on Thursday at the company’s Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) Head Office, Sterling’s Public Relations Officer Youlandra McCammon voiced the company’s commitment to aiding in the production of rounded children.
“Sterling Products is committed to the continuous development of the Education system. Thus we, at Sterling, are so happy to be part of this year’s edition, the 10th edition, of Courts Pee-Wee School competition,” McCammon stated.
She added, “I think, and the company also thinks, (that) with more programmes and more initiatives like this, it will help our kids to be more physically active and also teach them values – values and skills that they will take on for a very long time as they progress.”
Representing the organizers was Petra’s Troy Mendonca, who expressed gratitude to the company for their involvement.
“They would’ve recognised the importance of this tournament over the years, and have agreed to be part of the tournament once again. And so, on behalf of the Petra Organisation, the Ministry of Education, and the Kids, we want to say a special thank you to the management and staff of Sterling Products for giving us the opportunity to relate to them and invite them,” Mendonca shared.
When the ball gets rolling on Saturday, Soesdyke and Kabakaburi Primary schools will face off in the first game of this year’s tournament. Thereafter, Redeemer will take on Tapakuma Primary, St. John’s will take on Annandale, Potaro and St. Ambrose Primary will do battle, One Mile will lock horns with F.E. Pollard, and Rosignol and Winfer Gardens will go toe-to-toe. A total of 16 games are scheduled for the first day of the competition.
The Pee-Wee tournament is set to conclude on November 12th.
