St Angela’s dethroned

– Harry’s brace leads South Ruimveldt to title

Most Valuable Player Fayon Harry sent her South Ruimveldt Primary School peers in with in great delight as she scored two goals to help her team convincingly dethrone St. Angela’s Primary in the Smalta/ Ministry of Public Health Girls Pee-Wee Schools Football Tournament on Saturday at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta.

Additionally, in the seven to eight play-off, Redeemer Primary crushed F.E Pollard by an identical margin but this time all three of the goals coming as a result of penalty kicks with Crystal Washington , Akela Hodge and Monisha Frank making the conversions.
The competition saw total of 16 schools across Georgetown participating with the large focus of the event being to bring awareness on the spread of Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
