The Milo School’s football tournament will resume this Sunday
The Milo tournament returned on the weekend of June 18 and 19, following a two-year hiatus as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, torrential rainfall in Georgetown took centre stage the following week, forcing organisers, the Petra Organization, to put the tournament on pause for a week, owing to concerns about the host venue.
Nonetheless, the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground on Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown will play host to eight games on Sunday and Monday.
