GFF-Blue Waters Shipping U15 Girls’ Championship: Marian Academy dominate as tournament continues

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF)–Blue Waters Shipping U15 Girls’ Championship continued in thrilling fashion over the weekend, with exciting action unfolding across both the Georgetown zone and Region 10.

 According to the Federation, the tournament is now officially the largest girls’ football tournament in Guyana for the second consecutive year, showcasing the rising footprint of youth female football across the nation.
In the Georgetown zone, Marian Academy delivered a dominant performance, registering a perfect record of all three of their games to top the group. Last year’s runners-up, New Campbellville Secondary, followed closely behind with two victories out of three, suffering their only defeat to tournament newcomers Christ Church Secondary, who also claimed two wins from their three matches.
Standout players were in full display, with Skylar DeNobrega of Marian Academy leading the scoring tally with four goals. Serina Cox of New Campbellville added three goals, while Kayleigh Jack of Christ Church netted two crucial goals, being the sole scorer for her team.
This year’s Georgetown zone also welcomed three newcomers: Christ Church Secondary, Tutorial High, and Lodge Secondary, adding fresh energy and competitiveness to the tournament.
Over in Region 10, matches held at the Wisburg Ground saw both Mackenzie High and Linden Foundation Secondary notch two wins apiece. Linden Foundation delivered the most dominant performance of the day with a commanding 7-0 victory over Wisburg Secondary.
Scouts from the GFF were present at both Providence and Wisburg Grounds closely observing the matches, identifying promising players for international opportunities and development pathways later this year.
The preliminary rounds will continue this Saturday, May 24, 2025, with matches scheduled at the following venues: Georgetown – Providence Ground; Region Three – West Demerara Secondary School; Region Five – Number 5 Football Ground and Region 10 – Wisburg Ground.
This year’s tournament features the largest number of participating schools in the nation, cementing its place as Guyana’s premier youth girls’ football tournament for the second year running.
The GFF highlighted that the primary goals of the U15 Girls’ Championship were to increase the participation of girls in football, extend the reach of the FIFA Football for Schools (F4S) Programme, create a national scouting platform for talented players for international competition later this year, and promote the growth of female football.
This impactful initiative is made possible by the generous support of Blue Waters Shipping, the Education Ministry, and the ongoing dedication of parents and teachers across Guyana.
