THE much-anticipated inaugural ExxonMobil/Pepsi U-14 Boys and Girls football tournament is set finally to begin today.
The tournament, which was postponed from last Saturday on account of the inclement weather, will commence at 09:45hrs with the march past at the Ministry of Education ground.

The organisers, Petra Organisation, contended that the fixtures remain the same with Tutorial opening against Buxton Youth Development.
Marian Academy will play Uitvlugt, Dolphin Secondary will face Ann’s Grove, Bishops’ High will meet Annandale, Carmel will oppose Vergenoegen and New Campbellville will clash with Brickdam.

In the second half of the day, Tucville will challenge Queenstown Secondary, Chase will play St John’s, North Ruimveldt Multi will take on School of the Nations, East Ruimveldt will face St George’s and Kingstown confront South Ruimveldt

During a recent briefing, Petra co-director Troy Mendonca noted that with the smaller number of female teams, their competition would not start until the third week of action.
In the interval, he said, the Guyana Football Federation has offered to do coaching courses for the female teams and their coaches in an attempt to enhance that aspect.
