… Tournament commences today

THE Annual Courts Pee Wee football tournament commences today at the Ministry of Education ground and this year’s edition will see Sterling Products as a sponsor.
During a brief yet significant ceremony yesterday, the company, through Marketing Manager Dellon Lynch, contended that its association with the tournament comes squarely off the fact that the entity is impressed by what it has offered in its nine years of existence.

“It is indeed an honour for Sterling Products to play a part of such an amazing project. It has a lot to do with the personal development of young boys which we see as a very important aspect of the initiative and the fact that Petra has been doing this – this is now the ninth year – shows that they are doing an important and strategic job.”

He added that the programme does wonders for both the mental and physical health of students in a safe environment and lauded the Petra Organisation for the works done.
Meanwhile, Petra co-director Troy Mendonca stated that they are happy to have the support of Sterling Products.

“Sports can only be successful with the support of these agencies, private and the government, so we at Petra and the entire football fraternity are very happy to have Sterling Products join us in this venture. I think that they enjoy being involved with this programme.

It is providing a platform for the kids to enjoy the sport through this programme,” Mendonca added.
He noted that over 300 children will be in action on Saturdays for the next seven weeks, noting that the body has plans to decentralise the tournament in the coming editions.
