The Organisation, which has been coordinating tournaments for a number of years, has found an outlet to showcase the successes from its packed 2018 year. Cordel Mc Clure, who is attached to the Organisation, detailed what Petra hoped to achieve with the publishing of the magazine.
“So what Petra is attempting to do is to capture all of the tournaments coordinated by the Petra Organisation into a colourful, attractive magazine. This magazine will highlight players who would have excelled, highlight the schools and clubs that did well in these tournaments,” he explained.
The Petra Organisation has delivered tournaments for various age groups over the years, including Under-11 Pee Wee, Under-14, Under-18 and senior clubs, to name a few. It has, with the help of sponsors, coordinated Milo and Guyoil Under-18, ExxonMobil Under-14, Courts Pee Wee Under-11 Boys, Smalta Under-11 Girls, Limacol and Turbo knockout competitions which cater to senior clubs. In this light, Mc Clure urged young players to look out for their teams.
“Of course, the magazine will be available to all schools, clubs, Government offices and sponsors. This initial magazine will be 40 pages and will be ready in January,” Mc Clure said.
He explained that the release date was set in January so as to facilitate the hosting and conclusion of several tournaments, which will occur in December.
With more than 10 tournaments in 2018, the magazine is expected to cover a mass of content and will expose talent and upcoming stars at all levels.
“What does it mean for the students? It means that you will have an opportunity to see yourself, to be able to show your family members and schoolmates that you participated in one of the tournaments. For the sponsors, it will mean that you will also have additional viewership.”
“Petra is forward-thinking, Petra is expanding how football is projected to the public,” Mc Clure concluded, praising the company’s vision.
