THE Petra Organisation’s MVP Sports Girls U-11 Schools Football tournament winner will be decided today as St John the Baptist out of Bartica clashes with Marian Academy in the final of the tournament at the Ministry of Education Ground on Carifesta Avenue.

On Friday morning, the two captains of the finalists, Shemia Hing (St John) and Skylar DeNobrega (Marian) faced off at a simple ceremony at the MVP Sports outlet at the Giftland Mall, Liliendaal. They were accompanied by their respective coaches and teachers.

Marian’s DeNobrega told the media that the main motivation for her team’s performance has been opposition teams fans betting against her side. “Tomorrow my aim is to shut out the nay-sayers and win the championship for my school” she said.

Hing on the other hand said “I am pleased to have made it into the finals, me and my team have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks and I am confident my team will do well and hopefully we can take back the trophy to Bartica.”

Today’s action will begin at 12PM with a couple of exhibition matches while third to eighth place will be decided as well. At 3:30PM the final will kickoff with a new champion to be decided.
