THE Ministry of Education ground on CARIFESTA Avenue will come alive again today (Saturday) with action in the Courts Optical Pee Wee football championship.
After two rousing rounds of intense youth football action, 14 more battles are scheduled as the round-robin segment of the competition continues.

The competition, which features 32 primary schools from across the country, kicks off at 11:00hrs with One Mile Primary playing Leonora, and Santa Rosa locking horns with Ann’s Grove at the same time on Field 2.
The next set of clashes feature Colaaco meeting Georgetown International Academy, while the ever-dangerous Marian Academy meets School of the Nations at the same time.
Other battles see Batavia playing Den Amstel. The West Coast-side team is looking good after securing a 5-nil win over Golden Grove last week.

West Ruimveldt, who drew their last game, is set to collide with Golden Grove this week, while Next Genesis faces St. Gabriel’s, and Timehri takes on St. John the Baptist, who are in form after a 4-1 stoppage of St. Gabriel’s.
Smith’s Memorial also meets Enterprise, a former champion, while FE Pollard clashes with Rosignol, and the imperious Belladrum, after dismissing 2023 finalist Redeemer, 5-nil last Saturday, will take on Potaro. Redeemer then face Stella Maris.
Champions St. Pius will take on Tucville, and Winfer Gardens closees off the day against St. Mary’s.

The 11th edition of the competition sees 15 schools from Georgetown, one from Linden, three from Bartica, three from Berbice, four from the East Coast Demerara, one from the East Bank Demerara, three from West Coast Demerara, two from Essequibo, and one from the Barima-Waini Region One competing over seven weeks.

The tournament will take the familiar round-robin then knock-out format, with the top 16 schools advancing for a chance to play in the quarter, semi and final for a chance to win handsome prizes from Courts Mega Store.
