With all the systems currently being implemented, Petra Organization Co-Director Troy Mendonca stated that he anticipates an exciting climax to the ExxonMobil U14 Boy’s and Girl’s Football Championship, which is scheduled to conclude tomorrow at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference yesterday at the Brandsville Hotel in Prashad Nagar, Mendonca disclosed that all systems are being formulated for the staging of the final by the organization’s staff and that he expects a thrilling final in both divisions.
According to Mendonca, “The weather doesn’t affect us much and we are happy to be at the culmination of the event and anticipate a thrilling final.”
Mendonca further thanked all the stakeholders that were involved in making the event a success, noting that special praise should be afforded to the Chief Executive Officer of the Education for his unwavering support.
In the Girl’s Divisional final, Waramuri will face off against President’s College whilst Bartica will oppose Waramuri in the Boy’s Championship encounter. Waramuri has the opportunity to become the second school to win both divisional championships, after that feat was accomplished by Charlestown Secondary in the previous edition.
Asked about his assessment of the event’s competitive quality, Mendonca affirmed that the introduction of the institutions from the hinterland communities has incrementally improved the competitive nature of the competition, noting that their participation highlights that Guyana is simply not Georgetown or East Coast, and that the relevant stakeholders should implement plans, policies, and structures to integrate and increase their continued participation.
