Roy Vansluytman’s three goals and Darius Williams’ two accounted for Santa Rosa’s 5-2 drubbing of Mackenzie High.

The last game of the evening between Kwakwani Secondary and Waramaru Top was scoreless up to press time.

Meanwhile the teams in the final 16 of the tournaments yesterday received their uniforms.

Speaking there, Petra Co-Director Troy Mendonca told the media and those gathered that it is heart-warming to see the tournament returned throughout the country.

He noted that their work with grass-roots football continues to bear fruit with sponsors like Digicel understanding the value of that level of the sport.

Digicel through their representative Gabreilla Chapman expressed pleasure to once again be associated with the tournament.
