The National Sports Council held its annual Regional Primary School Football Tournament in San Pedro on Tuesday May 12th at the Ambergris Stadium. The tournament held for zone 5, San Pedro and Caye Caulker, saw the participation of male and female football teams from New Horizon Seventh Day Adventists Primary School (NHSDA), San Pedro Roman Catholic Primary School (SPRCS) and Caye Caulker Roman Catholic Primary School. After a long morning of intense match ups, it was both the boys and girls of SPRCs that took the championship and the honor of representing zone 5 at the District Finals.
The female team from SPRCs had to score five goals in their last match in order to qualify, since CCRC had previously beat NHSDA girls 4 -0. NHSDA team did not prove to be a hurdle for the SPRCs girls who not only scored the needed goals to qualify, but got an extra one just to brag. SPRCs girls qualified for the District Finals, leaving CCRC and the NHSDA girls out of the running.
As male teams prepared to step on the field, their respective coaches could be heard giving their final instructions. The qualifying match was between SPRC and NHSDA boys. The coaches encouraged their teams, especially the coach from SPRCs who shouted much needed motivation to his students. His efforts paid off as SPRsC had no trouble winning the qualifying match with the impressive score of 8 -0.
According to Kaya Cattouse representative of the National Sport Council in charge of football, the date for the District Final will be on Monday June 8th in Belize City. The San Pedro Sun congratulates both teams and wishes them the best as they proudly represent our beautiful island.
