The battle as to who is the best girls football team will kick off Friday
The start of the Petra Organised Smalta Public Health Ministry Girls Pee-Wee Football will finally commence on Friday at the Ministry of Sports Ground (Formerly GNS) on Carifesta Avenue.
Initially the tournament was slated to kick-off on November 22 at the Ministry of Education ground, however, the organisers were forced to reshuffle their plans due to the inclement weather.
At the launching, it was disclosed the 4th edition will see 16 schools in Georgetown participating over five rounds for top honours. Co-Director of Petra, Troy Mendonca urged all stakeholders and individuals associated with the Tournament to treat it with the same vigour that is usually shown to male football tournaments.
He felt the tournament could serve as a catalyst for development of the young girls as it would afford them the opportunity to begin careers and even spark an interest in sports as a whole. Matches are set to commence at 10:00 hrs daily.
