THE East Bank Football Association (EBFA) in association with the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club last Sunday held a one-day Female 5-a-side football competition to encourage the development of the game in the association.

Emerging as champs in the two best-of-three matches were Pink Queens who blew away Green Queens, two matches to nil. Led by hat-tricks from sisters Latifah and Lizzann Lavroux, the Green Queens hammered Pink Queens 8-3 in the first match at the Kuru Kururu ground.

Also scoring for the winners were Candace Fraser and Ronetta Grant. Pink Team scorers were Aalliyah Thomas, Shaniya Edwards and Nikita Winter.
The second match saw the Pink Team take first strike through a Nikita Winter goal but that advantage was eventually cancelled out in the second half through goals from Aaliyah David and Candace Fraser as the Green Team stormed to their second success to win the competition.

Both teams were presented with trophies while each participating player received a medal. Emerging as the Most Valuable Player-of-the-Day was Lizzann Lavroux who was presented with a brand new cycle, compliments of the day’s sponsor, Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC).

The EBFA is expressing thanks to the RHTY&SC for its partnership in supporting the development of women’s football also to all the players who participated as well as the parents and coaches.
