Courts’ Pee-Wee Football final: Monumental clash expected in St Pius-Enterprise battle today

By way of entertaining victories last Saturday, both teams have gained passage to today’s final, and this match is being touted as a display of the best young football talents on the Coast of Guyana. St. Pius Primary, who last won the competition in 2018, would want to prove a point today, while Enterprise Primary – according to Coach Troy Wright – came to the competition with the sole intention of finishing among the top four. Having now obtained a chance to lay hands on the silverware, they will be coming at the opposition with all guns blazing.
In a pre-final press conference on Thursday afternoon, Coach Wright explained that his switch to Enterprise, after coaching St. Agnes Primary to the Pee-Wee title in 2019, was made with intention to inspire that school and its children. He said the prize money would go ‘a long way’ in helping the school to invest in much- needed education apparatus.
While maintaining there is an intention to walk away with yet another title, the St. Pius Team Manager Melissa Rodrigues highlighted that involvement in the game and having fun while doing so is paramount for her team.
The St. Pius athlete to watch is Aaron Vasconcellos, an efficient and effective arsenal for that team; but the likely highest goal-scorer of the tournament is Jashan Haynes of Enterprise, who will be looking to add to his already large tally of goals. With Dontay Kowlessar by his side, some excitement would likely be on offer, making for an entertaining final showdown of this Pee-Wee tournament.
Before the final match kicks off at 15:00hrs today, Marian Academy and North Georgetown Primary would battle for a chance to finish in third place. That match kicks off at 14:00hrs. Other schools in the competition would also be in action today, as they play for places. Those games will commence at 11:30hrs.
Aside from title sponsors Courts, the tournament is supported by Sterling Products, MVP Sports, and the Ministry of Education (MoE), and is coordinated by the Petra organization.
