All is in readiness for the commencement of the much-anticipated Primary Schools Football tournament on Nevis.
According to Miss Nichola Fraser at the Education Department, the students at the various competing schools, the teachers and coaches are all fully hyped and rearing to go.
She indicated that they have been practicing in earnest and some would have even had practice matches so far.
Director of Sports, Jamir Claxton further indicated that the tournament will commence on Wednesday 19th October, with a grand opening ceremony at the VOJN grounds, starting promptly at 12 noon.
A number of dignitaries will be on hand and he pointed out that everybody is waiting for this tournament to kick off, after a two-year hiatus.
Four matches will be played on game days, due to time constraints, as the children will shortly have to focus on upcoming exams.
Miss Fraser updated on the four matches to be played on that opening day, immediately following the opening ceremony:
1.30 pm
IWPS v VOJN
Nevis Academy v JLPS
2.30 pm
St. James Primary v Maude Cross Prep
CPS v Montessori
