Demerara Distillers Limited [DDL] under its Pepsi Brand joined the growing list of sponsors to support the 2nd edition of the ExxonMobil Boys and Girls U14 School Football Championship.
The beverage entity will be the official sport drink of the event, following a simple presentation ceremony staged yesterday at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Larry Wills, Pepsi Brand Manager made the presentation to Mark Alleyne, representative of the tournament coordinator the Petra Organization.
Wills during brief remarks said, “For the second year running, DDL under the Pepsi brand is proud to be a sponsor of the ExxonMobil U-14 schools football tournament. We were happy with the way it was executed last year and the decision to sponsor again was easy for us.”
Meanwhile, Petra Organization Co-Director Troy Mendonca said, “DDL and Pepsi’s contribution to this tournament is geared towards developing the youth, giving them a chance to play football at a level where there was not football a few years ago.”
The event which is slated to commence on June 12th at the same venue, will feature 24 Boys and 12 Girls Teams competing for the coveted title in the seven week affair.
