A sizeable crowd showed up at the ET Willett Park on Friday 3rd November, to witness round three in the exciting Primary schools’ Football championship.
For some schools, it was a ‘do or die’ situation.
Defending champions Ivor Walters Primary was in such a dilemma. They had to win, or they would not be in the semifinals.
They came out with a vengeance and slammed Maude Cross Prep, 7 goals to nil.
Joycelyn Liburd Primary was not so fortunate. In their must win match up versus the Elizabeth Pemberton Primary School who had already qualified for the semis, they lost by a margin of 1 goal to nil, even though they played their hearts out.
In the other match played, St. Thomas’ Primary overpowered VOJN 2 goals to nil
