SMALTA and Icool are the latest entities to boost the historic four-team KFC Goodwill Schools Football Cup, which kicks off this Saturday at the Ministry of Education (MoE) ground.
Ansa McAl, the parent company of the two brands, has not wasted the opportunity to support this inaugural tournament, which will see local teams and one from Trinidad & Tobago match skills in a round-robin format.
Petra Organisation’s co-director, Troy Mendonca, thanked Ansa McAl for its continued support, “Not only on the behalf of our company but also on behalf of the entire football fraternity, we (Petra) want to acknowledge Ansa McAl and we know that this partnership will go a very far way for the development of football.”
Mendonca further noted that this tournament is keeping with Petra Organisation’s vision of developing football at the school level and “we hope this tournament will serve as a motivation for children going forward in their career.”
The three local teams, Annandale Secondary, Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) of Linden, Annai Secondary of Region Nine, will be joined by T&T’s 2016 School League champions, Shiva’s Hindu College in three day of scintillating action.
“We at Ansa McAl over the years have been very pleased with Petra in its quest to promote and develop football”, explained the sponsor’s Business Development Manager, Errol Nelson.
Nelson further noted that “there are many tournaments throughout the year, but few at the grassroots or development level and we know that this tournament will be a success.”
The fixtures of the tournament have been released and each day (15th, 18th and 22nd of December) will feature a double-header with games at 17:00hrs and 19:00hrs.
Saturday’s games will see CWSS playing Annandale first before Annai clash with Shiva’s Hindu College in the feature match.
On the 18th, CWSS will play Annai first, followed by feature play between Annandale and Shiva’s Hindu College.
And, the final match day will pit Annandale against Annai at 17:00hrs while the final match of the tournament will be an anticipated clash between Linden’s CWSS and the fearsome youngsters from T&T at 19:00hrs.
