Santa Rosa are champions of the 11th Courts Optical Pee Wee Under-11 Football Championship after they beat Marian Academy 1-0 in a dramatic showdown at the Ministry of Education ground.
Michael Harris in extra time sealed the deal for the out-of-town side against the stiff competition from the Georgetown based institution.

Harris’ easy tap in was in no way representative of the intensity presented from both sides from the opening whistle, an intensity that carried to the final whistle.
Meanwhile, defending champions St Pius Primary squeaked by St John the Baptist Primary 3-2.

Emanuel Forde of St Pius broke the deadlock in the 16th minute with a deflection that rolled into the net before Jovanie Wright had a quickfire brace in the 18th and 20th minutes. St John the Baptist managed two consolation goals off the boot of Kriston Chandler in the 26th and Kareme Welcome 32nd.

In the individual categories, three players shared the tournament’s Most Goals award Wright of St Pius Primary, Dontay Kowlessar of Enterprise Primary, and Welcome, each finished with10 goals.
Santa Rosa’s Linden James took home both the MVP and Best Goalkeeper honours, while Head Coach Earl Richard was named Best Coach.
