For the first time in the tournament’s seven-year history, Marian Academy won the coveted MVP Sports Girls U11 Pee Wee Schools Football tournament, defeating St. John the Baptist 2-1 yesterday at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Marian Academy had a formidable St. John the Baptist team in their way and put up a spirited performance to run out winners with a last-gasp goal in the final minute of regulation time.
Earlier in the first half, Marian’s captain and the eventual tournament’s highest goal scorer, Skylar DeNobrega, had broken the deadlock, netting her 10th goal of the tournament in the 13th minute to spark wild celebrations from parents and her team bench.
