This year’s tournament, the fourth in the annual Limacol Football competition, is primarily sponsored by The New GPC. However, for the first time in the tournament’s history, W.J Enterprise, sole distributors of Croxley Paper and other stationery supplies, have thrown their support behind the pharmaceutical company to become a sponsor of the tournament.
This year’s tournament will feature 12 teams from Georgetown, two from the East Coast of Demerara, one from the West Coast, and one from the East Bank of Demerara.
During his time with the microphone, Petra Co-Director Troy Mendonca stressed on the importance of corporate investments into sport, and the fruits those can bear. Expressing gratitude to the company for joining the sponsors, Mendonca said: “These investments help to build future leaders and individuals that can take our communities and nation forward. So, on behalf of the Petra Organization and the football fraternity at large, we want to say a big thank you to W.J. Enterprise for coming on board as a sponsor of the Limacol Football Tournament.”
Kavita Sookhu, speaking on behalf of W.J Enterprise, explained that the company is focused on playing a part in the development of youths.
“We are pleased to be associated with this year’s Limacol Football Tournament organized by Petra. W.J Enterprise recognizes the stewardship of the Petra Organization in coordinating football tournaments, and we see that we are fit to support this activity that develops talents locally,” she said.
