Competition heats up as players head into Round of 16

Pee Wee Football

Following three rounds of gruelling and competitive football at the junior stage, the Petra-organised Pee Wee Under-11 football tournament will ignite the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue this weekend.
The top 16 teams will be pitted against each other as they battle for a place in the quarter-final round. Though they are young, the Under-11 players are not to be underestimated as they have proven over the past three weeks to be talented and keen on the particulars of the sport.
Leading the charge into the Round of 16 are defending champions West Ruimveldt. Despite missing some of their front runners from their championship team, West Ruimveldt have proven that they are the team to beat, since they are yet to lose an encounter. However, the champions will have to watch their backs, as there are quite a few strong contenders this year. Along with West Ruimveldt, there are five other teams who have not lost a game, hence, recording nine points. However, this front-running batch is being led by St Agnes, who thanks to their 9-0 win over Parfaite Harmonie in the first round, has a goal difference of 13. St Pius trail closely with their 11 and North Georgetown on 10. The other top teams are Mocha Arcadia with 9 (goal difference) and Mae’s Primary with 8.
The remainder of the top 16 will feature Marian Academy, St John’s Bosco (Plaisance) and South Ruimveldt on seven points while Golden Grove, Enterprise, Tucville, Timehri, Colaaco and St Ambrose are all on six points.
However, come Saturday, points will be put aside as the teams venture into fresh rivalries outside of their groups. The battle for the eight spots in the quarter-finals will kick off from 12:30h and will go on until the final match is staged at 17:30h.
