IN May, twenty-four female teams and thirty-two male sides began their journey to lift the coveted ExxonMobil U-14 football championships.
This afternoon the two teams each in the male and female divisions will have the final hurdle to climb to accomplish that goal and cash in on big rewards for their schools.
In the girls’ competition, President’s College will seek to overcome defending champions, Waramuri top at 16:00 hours.
They will need to up their goal tally as Waramuri has been prolific on the offensive end with some high scoring wins. They have however shown some weakness on the defensive end and this is where PC will have to make sure to be calculated.
The girls’ finals will be played on the heels of their third-place contest set for 14:00 hours featuring Bartica and Santa Rosa.

The boys’ final will conclude the tournament and that game will pit Chase Academy, one of the most successful football schools against one of the most consistent school teams in years, Dolphin secondary.
Chase who had a major scare against Leonora Secondary in the semis will be hoping to stop Dolphin early and close it out against a historically dangerous side in finals.
Prior to the boys’ finals South Ruimveldt will meet Leonora secondary in the third-place game.
South Ruimveldt had been playing well in the competition before being hard done in the semi-final and they will diffidently aim to finish the fifth edition of the tournament strong with a third-place trophy and accompanying accolades.

The tournament started with 56 teams in total from regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10.
The winning teams are vying for $400,000 in each division for their schools which will go towards projects.
The second place will collect $200,000 and third place $100,000.
This year the organisers will also provide school supplies year-long for the male and female Most Valuable Players.
Last year, the Boys from Bartica and the girls from Waramuri Top won the tournaments.
The tournament is sponsored by ExxonMobil, Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs with support from Stena Drilling, Pepsi, MVP Sports and the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports
