Leonora, SJTB to clash in anticipated Pee-Wee final tomorrow

Leonora Primary and St John the Baptist Primary will, on Saturday, November 1, lock horns in what is expected to be a scintillating battle for the vacant Courts Optical Boys’ Under-11 Pee-Wee crown.
This is on the heels of both teams securing wins in the semi-final round last Saturday.

St John the Baptist, after finishing fourth last year, were the first to head into the final, as Captain Neymar Ewards relished his team’s redemption.
“It was good. I feel good that my team go through to the finals,” Edwards told Guyana Times Sport, reflecting on their 2-0 semi-final victory over Redeemer Primary. “I’m excited for we win the finals.”
About the preparation his team need, Edwards said, “Yeah, them got to work, ’cause in the finals we’ll play an stiff team, and them got to play good.”
With an eye on redemption, the St John the Baptist Captain added, “Last year, we bring fourth, right, and this year I put my mind to it and say ‘we got to bring first’.”
On the other hand, Leonora Primary are being referred to as the “giant killers”, ousting the likes of 2024 runners-up Marian Academy and tournament favourites West Ruimveldt Primary from the competition.
For their Captain, Jhonathan Melvin, teamwork will be key to his team’s triumph.
“It was good. It’s just teamwork we got to play in. It ain’t mean you will make goals, but you need teamwork,” Melvin stated, regarding their 1-0 needling of West Ruimveldt Primary in last week’s semi-final round.
Turning his attention to the final, the Leonora Captain said, “I’m excited; I hope we win. We just got to thank God we play good, no injuries and play with teamwork and make the dream work.”
Melvin went on to express, “It will mean so much. So, we could keep on making we dreams go forward. Don’t let nobody stop you from your dreams.”
The Pee-Wee final is scheduled for 16:00h this Saturday, November 1, at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue. Prior to that battle, Redeemer and West Ruimveldt Primary will go toe-to-toe for the third-place spot, beginning at 15:00h.
